Jumping around lake Baïkal

17 September, 2010 from Еланцы, Russia 1 Comment

Arrived at 6am in Irkutsk, we started the day by a good ol’ breakfast with coffee sausages, schnitzel and mashed potatoes. We then headed to the Baïkaler Hostel, with just enough time to take a shower before going on the Baïkal trek. The shower was cold, but after 4 days in a train (hence without showering), this sounded like paradise !

At 9am, we meet Jack “Yevegeny” the owner of the hostel and also our guide around the Baïkal for the next 3 days. This is also where we met what will become our travel buddies for the rest of the trip, and also some great friends: the kiwis Hannah and Troy from great New Zealand ! Atfer 3 hours driving we arrived in Saint Christovky Bay, a place lost on Baïkal shore. There, you’ll find a farm and guest House where you’ll eat the best home made food ever !! It was sooo delicious!

Lake Baïkal is gorgeous: huge (600km long), deep blue water, deep (1600+ km at the deepest)… and so quiet ! That’s a perfect occasion to concentrate for you jump.

Note that Yevgeny, in the middle, is a fellow jumper. His hostel is full of jumping travellers pictured on the wall. So cool ! If ever you go to Irkutsk, go book the Baïkaler hostel ! (www.baikaler.com).

The Baïkal shore is also very steep and it required quite some effort so up and down all the hills all day. The reward is indeed the wonderful views that you get once on top !

Jumping in Ilanskiy

Ever heard of Ilanskiy ? Me neither before stopping there. It is a small town completely lost in Siberia. But there you’ll find an old and gorgeous locomotive from the early days of steam-powered Trans-Siberian railways.

Jumping in Novosibirsk

15 September, 2010 from Novosibirsk, Russia Leave a Comment

A little lesson of Cyrillic.

– H = N

– B = V

– C = S

– И = I

– б = B

– P = R

So… HOBOCИбИCK = Novosibirsk !

Novosibirsk, largest city of Siberia (and third largest of Russia), is actually very new as it was created only because of the construction of the TransSiberian railway in the late 19th century. It is now one of the most important industrial centers of Russia.

Jumping in Barabinsk (a.k.a. train makes you zen)

15 September, 2010 from Barabinsk, Russia Leave a Comment

Barabinsk is a small city for which wikipedia says “the most important economic sectors are the production of building material as well as metal and agricultural industries”.

Ok, might not be the hottest touristic spot of Russia.

Jumping in Perm

14 September, 2010 from Perm, Russia Leave a Comment

Aboard the Trans-Siberian train, life is simple for 4 days: eat, sleep, read, talk, take the apero, eat, sleep etc… That’s a wonderful time where you end up relaxed as you’ve never been before.

But when you’ll get offered the chance to stop in a station for more than 5 minutes, you come to really appreciate to get off of the train and walk around the platforms.

Perm is mostly an industrial city. But it is also the entry door to famous Oural mountains.
