A great run along the coast of Lake Baikal towards Ulan Ude. Lake Baikal is enormous and surrounded by thick green forest. Ulan-Udin is a city which has a very Mongolian feel. It is near to the Mongolian Border and is very much influenced by it’s people. It also boasts that the central square has the biggest statue of Lenin’s heed. This was one of the main reasons we came here??? We met Gregorio, a fellow motorcyclist from Barcelona. Gordon managed to throw a pint over him much to our embarrassment. Gregorio is a seasoned traveller and has been to many parts of the world. This time he is solo in Europe, the Stans, Mongolia and Russia. He is riding a Honda CB 500 and left this morning to take on the challenging roads on his return journey to Spain. Head for Chita tomorrow then the final push of 2,400km towards Vladivostok and the ferry to Japan. The weather is holding and is sunny and warm.
