Day 6 and 7: Omsk
The train track between Yekaterinburg and Omsk was not very spectacular. Siberia is very flat, there is no hill, no valley nothing. When you look out of the train window, you all most get excised when you see something else than trees and grass and trees and grass and… Oh look over there are some birds!!!! Anyway, we made half of the track at night and had a good sleep.
Omsk is the second largest city in Siberia with app. 1.5 million….. ask wiki pedia.
I found Omsk very nice. It cannot compete with Yekaterinburg but it has its own charm. To walk along the river on an amazing hot autumn day (28°C) made us feel like, walking along the beaches at the Riviera in Italy at autumn. Have a rest in one of the two nice restaurants along the river trail and enjoy a delicious Cappuccino. Do some sightseeing in the late afternoon and having dinner at the best restaurant of the city along the river coast. Yes I would like to say Omsk made me a nice day.
Unfortunately the next day should not be so splendid. We were trying to find a museum for two hours. We walked the streets up and town, around the block and all the small backstreets in between but finally we had to confess our self that we had failed the mission. So we decided to forget the stupid museum and spend our self an award for the long senseless searching. So we went in to the next nice café called Tinto and had a cheese cake and a café.
