G - reporting
After a nice late start and a great Included breakfast of Bacon, eggs, toast and coffee we wandered the 3ish Km into the center of Barnaul for a look round it’s a nice modern town and by far the most European one yet, didn’t go to any museums as they tend to get a bit same when you can’t read any of the text, but enjoyed just looking at a the shops, buildings and all the various statues the Russian love to put up everywhere including Lenin as a bullfighter!
For a late lunch we ended up in a fairly posh restaurant where we had 2 different beef dishes - both delicious - and a glass of wine which as it was red was strangely served chilled thus providing us with our Russian moment of the day!
Wander over it was back to the hotel for some blogging and planning as Kazakhstan is fast approaching!
