Lazy people's trip to Lake Baikal

I can never understand people who are keen on food and travel, because there is no food that must be eaten in the world, and there is no scenic spot that must be visited in the world … at least I think so.

I don't hate traveling that much, but I don't feel much about it. Essentially lazy. It's not that I'm too lazy to travel, but that I'm too lazy to make travel plans or even think, "Where do you want to travel?" The problem itself.

But I am also lucky to have a friend who is extremely keen on traveling. He will actively think about where to go, how to go, how to make strategies, how to arrange the schedule and so on. And I just need to become a "follower" easily.

Friends started this trip and gave them the destination, itinerary, hotel ticket reservation and so on. They will discuss it in the group, and I am in it, but I have set a message, please don't disturb, and I won't express any opinions. In this respect, I am in the "toggle" state of Shanghai dialect, and I can do whatever I want. I prepared a photo of the visa and a copy of my ID card as required, and then all the visa, air ticket and air ticket fees were transferred to the person in charge with Alipay, which basically cost nothing.

I didn't intend to change rubles originally, because I felt troublesome and thought I could use a credit card. But I still accept the suggestion that it is safer to use cash to prevent people from swiping their cards. So I decided to change 40 thousand rubles. Considering that the bank may only give large bills (5000 rubles each), it is inconvenient to use.

I chose ICBC at the school gate. I think there are many foreign students in the school, so I guess this branch should be good at foreign currency exchange. First, you need to fill in the reservation form, indicating the collection time (usually three days later), currency and amount. When I filled it out, I found that there was a column that could make specific requirements for denomination. I wrote it with a try mentality: 40,000 rubles (40 pieces 1000 rubles).

On the appointment date, according to the guidelines, I know that I can purchase foreign exchange through the automatic service terminal now. It's convenient to try it, and then take the purchase receipt to the counter to collect rubles. Sure enough, he gave me 40 yuan 1000 rubles.

Get a passport and a good visa on August 2. This is only my fourth time abroad. The whole trip takes about 10 days. I plan to bring some clothes and toiletries, but I can't think of anything special. For electronic equipment, I will bring a Macbook, a mobile phone, a Kindle, a charging treasure and two switch sockets. A backpack and a suitcase are probably enough.

The official departure date was noon on August 9th, and I bought a sleeper, a new sleeper train and two bunks on the evening of August 8th. Each berth has an independent small table and power supply, and each berth is relatively independent, which feels better than the soft sleeper with one room for four people in the past. But the length of the sleeper is naturally a little shorter than mine.

Pass by Tianjin West Railway Station at six in the morning. It was learned that an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 occurred in Jiuzhaigou County last night. Arrive at Beijing West Railway Station at 7: 07 on time. Then I went to the dot, McDonald's in front of Beijing Station, and sat on the second floor, watching the crowds constantly leaving the station. 10 entered Beijing Railway Station, where he studied astrolabe astrology which formed a certain theoretical system.

1 1: 00, K3 train, a feeling of an old train. It is common to rain and clear up along the way.

At about 5 pm, I arrived at Jining South Station and changed a locomotive. /kloc-arrive in Zhu Rihe at 0/9: 40, stop and move on.

Arrive at Erenhot around 2 1: 45, submit your passport and leave the country. The train from Beijing to Erlian was dismantled and reassembled. The overall journey is slower than the timetable.

Morning 1 Depart from Erlian, go to Zamenud and enter Mongolia. Reassemble the carriage, return the passport around 3 o'clock, and finally sleep peacefully.

Get up around 8: 30, 10: 30 stop at Joil and get off with your partner. There is a vendor selling mutton buns at the station, one 10 yuan. At noon, I went to the Mongolian dining car. Because I didn't bring Mongolian coins, I paid for my lunch in RMB according to the ratio of blood loss 1 200. In the afternoon, I went to Ulaanbaatar and changed to 1: 360. Leave Mongolia at night.

I learned a poker game called "planing" and werewolf killing. ...

Arrive at Nowshd around 0: 00 and enter Russian territory. Russia's customs clearance equipment is more advanced than Mongolia's, and entry inspection can be done directly on the train. The train inspection is stricter than that in Mongolia, and a Labrador dog is brought. Continue to leave around 2 am. After getting up at 8 o'clock, the train began to travel along Lake Baikal, and the temperature difference between the sunny side and the cloudy side was obvious. 1 1 going to a Russian dining car for dinner is the best meal by comparison, and the fish soup is delicious.

14: 30, arrive at Sliujiangka. ...

/kloc-arrive in Irkutsk around 0/5: 30, get on the bus and go to stay. After putting things down, go to the post office to buy postcards and stamps. After I came back, I had dinner with the army and went to a restaurant on the edge of Karl Marx Street in the city center. Russian waiters generally lack English ability, so it is very difficult to communicate in English. 1 1 6420 rubles per person, which is cheaper. My personal meal is 470 rubles.

After eating, I go shopping in the supermarket on my way back to my residence. I met my residence, sent a circle of friends and wrote postcards. Go to sleep.

I got up at 6 and had some breakfast. Their yogurt tastes so special that China people may not accept it. Nature doesn't matter to me In fact, it is a smelly cheese. (I don't know Russian, but I bought it when I saw the Bio Max brand.)

Meet at Irkutsk station at 6: 50. After getting on the bus, something happened, and the Russians somehow changed the bus number, so that the tourists (all from China) who were originally seated in the right place changed their cars. Based on the mentality that Ah Q is glad that he didn't kick us out of the car, tourists naturally have to be patient.

10: 30 Return to Sliujiangka and put on the steam locomotive head.

1 1: 00, stop at a station and go to a place like a farmhouse. It is said that the train staff offered a free lunch to express their apologies for changing carriages. Cabbage soup, vegetables, bread, fish and rice.

1 1: 45 to move on, it should have been psychologically balanced. However, after the train started, someone in the same carriage found that the bag was left behind, and there were four passports in it.

What a chaotic morning. ...

12: 45, the train stopped at the entrance of Baikal railway 18 tunnel for 30 minutes.

13: 45, the train stops at Maritaut Railway Station at 190 km around Lake Baikal Railway for 30 minutes. There are some unknown plants along the road, including thorns. There will be tingling and numbness after touching, and several small bags will swell up on the skin. /kloc-After 0/0 minutes, the tingling and numbness will subside.

Get off at 15 o'clock and get off at10 km, 15: 45, and walk for a while to 102 km. 16: 45, 98km from the railway around Lake Baikal. 19 arrived in Baikal port, and there was a military equipment exhibition hall nearby. You can contact weapons after paying 100 rubles, mainly some cold weapons (swords) and hot weapons (firearms).

We took the second ferry to Listvyanka, and a tourist from China had an argument with the staff to catch the first ferry.

/kloc-boarded the ferry at 0/9: 45 and arrived at the scheduled residence at 20: 00. The real trouble has finally come:

We suddenly found that the previous order had been cancelled, probably because the landlord sold the room to someone else at a high price. Because we can't stay, there are no rooms in the surrounding hotels, so we can only ask local people to help us arrange cars and send them back to Iraq.

We waited until two o'clock in the morning, because it was difficult to find a car at night, and the first dispatched car had an accident halfway. In the meantime, we all spent time in the lobby of a small hotel. Because there are elderly people in our company, we are really anxious and deeply dissatisfied with the huge profits that people who booked cars before may earn.

At the same time, we revised the plan and decided to go to another residence in 13.

Take a bus from Listvyanka to Iraq at 2 a.m., sleep, and check out at 12 a.m. I went to Kazan church nearby, then I found a car and an English speaker in an auto parts store for help. Then I booked a car and went to the suburbs of Iraq, and booked a hotel early in the morning. While waiting for the bus, another group of people went to the supermarket to buy some food and prepared to cook their own food there.

Found a car around two o'clock in the afternoon. The driver's name is Alex. He drove to the suburbs of Iraq. When he arrived, he decided to continue to use Alex's car tomorrow. Because I didn't go to breakfast in the morning, I felt a little hypoglycemia, so I felt better after eating an instant noodle.

In the evening, I visited the Angara River near the hotel. That night, the team leader negotiated with the person who booked the car before, and the other party agreed to refund 2000 yuan.

10 Take Alex's car to Listvyanka, it's cold. I went to the Baikal Museum near Listvyanka, strolled around, then had lunch at the fish market and bought some souvenirs after dinner.

In the afternoon, I drove to the Tallez Wooden House Museum, because it was very cold on rainy days. A colleague with a camera commissioned me to take a photo, so I took a casual photo.

After the visit, return to Irkutsk by bus. Where I lived on my first day. I threw away the postcard I wrote on the first day in the evening.

I took the bus around 9: 00, because there were other people on board, and then I went around Irkutsk a few times, dropped people off at a place similar to the market, and then we went to Orhon Island.

At about 12, I stopped at a post station on the way and took a ferry to Orhon Island at 15. The road on the island is very bumpy. I arrived at Hurrir at about 17 and checked into a hotel. Then I wandered around the town of Huzil and the nearby post office. 19 Go back to the hotel for dinner.

Because the mobile phone charging conversion interface is not lost, there are not many photos taken in the next two days. ...

Have breakfast at the hotel at 9: 00. 10, take the local bus, take the northern line, and bump all the way. Stay at scenic spots along the way to watch and take photos, and arrive at a picnic spot at noon 12. The driver chopped wood to make a fire, cooked fish soup in the pot, cold tomatoes and cucumbers, and bread chocolate biscuits to make up a lunch. Then drive to the northernmost fjord of Austria Island.

/kloc-go home at 0/5: 30,/kloc-go back to your residence around 0/7. Then go to the location of Shaman Stone in Hulil, which is said to be the energy concentration place of Shamanism.

As usual, we set off for breakfast at 9: 00 and 10, took the southeast line of the island, stopped at several scenic spots along the way, and stopped at a lake bay for dinner. The content is the same as yesterday. We served mustard tuber to Russian drivers. In the case of the first bite of unknown so, the Russian driver ate several pieces of mustard tuber with bread, which is estimated to be in love.

I returned after lunch and stopped at a scenic spot with poor water quality. /kloc-go back to the residence at 0/5: 30. Then everyone can move freely.

Have breakfast at nine in the morning and get on the bus at half past nine. /kloc-Halfway past 0/2, stop for dinner at the station, and then drive all the way back to Iraq. Basically, everyone is asleep, sleeping in the car. 65438+ arrived at our last hotel around 5: 30. I went to the so-called 130 amorous feelings street, entered a shopping mall, and my classmates started the shopping mode. I took their advice and bought some with me to give away when I returned to Shanghai.

In the evening, eat in a restaurant near the shopping mall, and entertain with accordions and singers. After dinner, stop at the shopping center. That night, the two of them went to Ulan-Ude by train.

I bought a charging conversion interface in the store, and the mobile phone was saved.

The weather was gloomy, so I went to the mall last night to continue to satisfy their shopping desire. At noon, the other two went to the airport to prepare to return to Beijing.

Then drive north to the banks of the Angara River, cross the Arc de Triomphe, pass the statue of pioneers, pass three churches and come to the government square.

After lunch, go to Karl Marx Street and fill in the blanks of shopping. I was going to wait for the no.84 bus to return to my residence, but I didn't arrive and didn't get a taxi. So I decided to get on a familiar No.8 bus first, and found that the direction was reversed, then I got off at once, got on the opposite No.7 tram, and finally headed in the right direction.

/kloc-arrive at the hotel on 0/6, go to the nearby supermarket to buy candy, 16: 30 go to the airport. The airport is very small, and the Russians have no concept of tax refund at all.

/kloc-take off on time at 0/8: 45 and land in Pudong, Shanghai at 22: 50.

/kloc-get home around 0/:00. The biggest experience of this trip to Russia is that it is best for colleagues to speak Russian.
