We stopped and had some delicious ice cream. It was fresh and creamy and tasty. Siberia is sweltering being over 30 degrees and it's hot.
Another drink popular in Russia is something called Kvas. Made from rye. It is a bit heavy and not sweet and gassy like coke or Pepsi. Typical Russian and very refreshing. It is non alcoholic and we had a huge bottle. They sell it in the big cities in little tankers where people buy a glass and drink it.
For those of you sitting in cool offices and homes spare a thought for those Siberian vendors by the road side selling little local fruit in cups or buckets. It is very hot and they patiently sit there all day. Some of the are women club where you see a group of women selling their fruit and of course having a good gossip on behalf of the other women who are not about!!
No hairdressing salons and internet cafe. No coffee shops and Estee Lauder in these little towns in Siberia. Just a simple tough old life.
Attached are a few more pics I've taken along the way:
