After Lunch on board we crossed the Angara River and hiked up the Chersky Mount (a bit of a shock to the calf muscles !!) from where we had amazing views out across Lake Baikal.

Then back down the hill and the ferry back to Port Baikal before boarding the train for a short trip to the barbecue location beside the lake.

Then a quick stumble back on board before setting off for Ulan Ude and a day trip into Mongolia.
