B - reporting
Breakfast was included, so we headed to the dining room where we found a fantastic buffet. I had fish, carrot salad, devilled eggs and chocolate biscuits (well, I was in Bisk, it had to be done). A strange, but delicious, combination.
Went for a quick walk by the river, but as it was raining we soon headed for a coffee shop. There we ordered 2 coffees and what I thought was chocolate cake, but received 2 coffees and the richest, darkest cup of hot chocolate I have ever tasted, with grated pistachio on top! I have no idea what the waitress thought I was ordering, but never mind!
We then headed for Barnaul. The countryside was really flat, and heavily cultivated. Autumn is quite far along, here, with trees turning golden and hay already baled. The sky is huge, and today full of enormous white clouds massing on the horizon.
We had not seen this much traffic since we left Canada, but with the help of Vera our trusty GPS we found the Hotel Nika really easily. We had our phrase book handy, but the Administrator spoke English and even offered us a bigger room for the same price...fantastic.
Instead of sightseeing we caught up on laundry, showering, and emailing. It is such a great feeling to have a bag full of clean clothes!
