Olga's House - Olkhon Island

Olga's House (yes another Olga) is in the largest town on Olkhon Island, Khushir. Olkhon Island only has 1500 residents, so I use the word town loosely. We saw Olga a grand total of three times, when we got there, when other guests arrived, and finally when we left. Her daughter did all the cooking, and was quite the cook. All meals were great, and we even got the fish dish that Lake Baikal is famous for, ohmul. The homestay is very small, only three rooms, but the place was very clean, and Olga's daughter, we never got her name, was very friendly.
