G - Reporting
After the horrible weather the day before I woke to a warm sun and a great view down the lake so getting up and letting B have a lie in I got the coffee, unfortunately the good weather lasted about an hour and then a strong wind sprung up, so it was time to move onto plan B and head for Biysk, to be honest we had decided the night before to get the heck out but I like to kid myself sometimes :-P
So went North West to Byisk stopping once at Gorno Altaisk for gas, lunch and some internet arriving at the small city of Biysk at around 4 and heading straight to the Hotel Centralia (thank you GPS), wandered in and enquired about a room which they had for 2200 Rubles and it also came with breakfast and internet plus secure parking for an extra 50 Roubles a result all round.
That evening we went to a local restaurant that the lonely planet described as having the best Shashlik in 1000Km a lofty claim well they weren't wrong! So after a couple of tasty Pork Shashliks (kebabs) with salad and few beers we then went in search of Byisks “Irish” pub but alas it had closed down so went back to the hotel to nerd around on the net.
