Day 13 and 14: More Irkutsk
Now that we were back to Irkutsk we had plenty of time to relax. Because of the reason that we had Sunday, it seemed to be appropriate to visit another church. Lucky me, that it was not a catholic church and there was no church service, so we could go back to the city and on the market watching clothes for 3 hours!
The next day we walked along the Angare up to the dam. Behind the dam is the old museum ship also called Angare, which we visited. After a good lunch with fresh Omul we crossed the dam. That seemed to be a good idea, but actually was not. On the other side was nothing to see and we ended up in some kind of industrial suburb. We couldn’t catch a taxi, so we decided to go into a garage nearby and ask if they could call us as taxi. None of them spoke English – what a surprise – but we could manage that they made the call for a taxi. So we were waiting there, but the taxi never appeared. After half an hour of waiting, one of the boys at the garage asked us if he could drive us. We agreed and he drove us directly back into the city. So that was our small adventure aside of the tourist trails.
