18:08:05 8:00 clock: was after the night in the hotel it is a typical hotel breakfast buffet. One felt that the hotel was relatively new and trying to establish themselves. Everyone was courteous and polite. The hotel manager, we patiently answered our questions: Where to exchange money, how to get on? best to the city center? ... and so on.
money we finally exchanged in the foreign trade center next door, where there was a bank branch. Then it went into the city, with the tram. The connection was perfect. Line 3 was their last stop directly outside the hotel and led to the city center from the central market. Impressive were the price, 5 rubles per person, equivalent for example 20 euro cents. A large backpack but was 5 rubles extra. But even more impressive were the penalties for fare: 25 rubles, that's not even a € - a joke.
near the market (Rynok) we got out. The Irkutsk city was characterized by a mix of old Siberian wooden houses and modern buildings. We strolled through the center
and tried something like to find the central square. The old wooden houses before the Rynok were in their diversity and number of very impressive, even though so many of them in a pitiful state. The district with the wooden houses was replaced behind the Rynok of a large department store complex. Behind began a pedestrian zone with colorful, bustling activity. There was also more expensive shops, cafes and restaurants and other retail stores. They were made of stone, but obviously restored historical structure and good.
began after the pedestrian zone even more representative buildings. Many of them were government or banks. An internet cafe we found here as well. Then came an extended space, de a forum extended to the banks of the Angara. Here were the urban and regional administrative centers. The place was broken by benches and green areas, but still alive and less sterile than the area of Rynok and pedestrian zone. However, I felt this after the turmoil earlier than beneficial. As the midday heat rose and was charging between the stone facades, we bought an ice cream and relaxed at the edge of a fountain.
Then we strolled to the Angara River, past some Russian Orthodox churches and the eternal flame to honor the fallen of the Great Patriotic War (as it is called in Russia the 2nd World War).
We stayed up a little and watched from the terrace on the Angara, where we watched fishermen in their boat.
Across the river, the more rural settlements, and was seen in the remote hills of the city limits.
Finally, we ran past the churches back in the direction of the business district. On the steps of a church were some poorly dressed people. There were beggars who hoped in the vicinity of the Church of increased charity of passers-by. I made some small change. Then we ran.
In fiscal quarter we settled down finally in a street cafe and ordered Shashlyk and Beck's beer. This was our lunch - very relaxed, almost Bavarian beer tent standard under large umbrellas. We stayed there a long time until the boys began to urge that we must so again in the Internet cafe.
So we walked the path in the direction Rynok and spent a further hour (or more?) In Internet Cafe. Also this was (as in Severobaikalsk) is not a cafe, but rather a terminal hall - but also extremely cheap. Here one could also get a feel for how many foreign backpackers running around but in Irkutsk Sun
This was also already afternoon and we strolled through the pedestrian zone back to Rynok. Here we were met by even a walking hot dog commercial. Overall, it might be thought of varied and prosperous small businesses.
Eventually we went with the tram back to the hotel where we could end the day. The next day we would leave the city, though not until late afternoon. Again, we peppered the hotel manager with a variety of issues and also pay equal to the hotel bill.
