Greetings all, Going from UB to Moscow and thinking about stopping in Irkutsk - thing is the lake is frozen at the moment (or it was 10 days ago!!). Couple of questions: 1. Is there other stuff worth seeing? 2. Anyone recommend a good hotel that can register our Visa for free? 3. How easy is it to get ticket from Irkutsk to Moscow while there? Cheers

Yes Baikal is frozen, but it is worth the trip. I had a very enjoyable bus/train excusion around the south west side of Baikal I stayed in the retro1 hotel - http://www.rus.baikal.ru/english/hotels/retro1/index.html. Its not the best hotel I have stayed, but it was located in a central safe part of Irkutsk. It has only 11 rooms, but the staff seem very friendly.They offered me free visa support. I traveled to Irkutsk with S7 airlines from Moscow, and booked my ticket online - http://www.s7.ru . They seem very efficient and trouble free. Hope this helps Peter
