First Day, First Impressions
My First Day I am at the end of my first day and already it is getting difficult to keep this travel log up-to-date. Who wants to spend time behind the computer when you can have REAL fun, right ? But just to show you I haven´t forgotten anybody ...
Tartu, seat of learning and fun
I first wanted to hitchhike to Tartu, Estonia's most important University City, but it was too hot and my backpack and other luggage was killing me. So I payed 95 EEK (about 8 euro) for a busticket and about 3 hours later I was at my destination where ...
Tartu
We caught the bus to Tartu, a university town, crossing most of the country to get there. Upon arrival, we decided to walk to our accommodation. This was quite a walk. Perhaps we should pay more attention to the scale of the map next time :) The town ...
Meeting Robert Schultz in Riga, Latvia
... here which was in December 2007. Johnnie Lambert has been here many times. It is 90 miles here from Tartu, Estonia. The Schultz family kept the Feast of Tabernacles in Shluchsee, Germany and met many people from Germany, the United ...
Nick's Subconscious Fears.
Tartu is supposed to be nice. I wouldn't know. We didn't have time to stop and look. Finances, time and route planning meant the 'burbs and the railway station were all we saw. We headed south, determined to get to Kaunus for Nick's flight on Sunday ...
Sosiego: Tallinn (Estonia)
... días. Repostajes con cigarrito y el miedo va desapareciendo poco a poco por el momento. Atravieso la frontera de Estonia sin percances. Para a comer en una gasolinera aprovechando el reportaje de ese momento. Sigo rodando sereno mientras desde el faro ...
Tallinn - Estonia
We arrived Tallinn (coming from Riga by bus) in the night and our stay there started with a problem. I made a reservation with hostelbookers.com, but they did not forward this reservation to the hotel. That hotel was overbooked, but the friendly ...
Off to the beach
... next day. Ciaren and I would be catching the 10 pm bus to Latvia... Not much else to say that cant be explained with a few photos. Estonia is rather a chilled out place.... Nothing to do but chill eat food and walk it off in the beautiful ...
El poncho de la discordia
La primera parada ha sido en Tallinn, una ciudad preciosa, como habreis visto en las fotos. Llama la atencion, ademas de las calles, la cantidad de tiendas de artesania, galerias y la decoracion en todos los locales y cafeterias, todo cuidado ...
Going here next!
I liked Estonia. Stayed at a really cool Hostel totally run down but bursting with Charm. OK it wasn't that run down just total choas it seem half the people staying there also work there. Come to think of it they were because if you volunteer ...
Baltic in the baltics!!!
... i saw some of the city walls, the nevsky cathedral - complete with its onion domes - the main plaza, a museum about occupied estonia, from prior to the second world war, until it gained independence in 1991. today and tomorrow i think will be more of the ...
Finally, some sleep!!!
After two weeks of disturbed sleep, I decided on a cheap bed and breakfast over a hostel, and finally managed to get some rest! The only problem was getting out of bed in the morning, but that's nothing new to me. That, and the fact that the place had a ...
Lots of progress on the mailing
... to pick up the copying. I used my rolling carry-on roll it back to the apartment. We could now start stuffing the Estonia mailing! One frustration in printing the address labels is that the paper standard they use here is A4. US is "letter" size. ...
Meteorite Craters
We got up really early, ate some sandwiches and went to the bus station. There we met Piret, her parents and grandmother who were there to say goodbye to Piret who was going back to Tallinn to take a flight for Brussels where she lives now. We took a ...
The island of Saaremaa
An island getaway for a few days - combatted rain (in the hostel room and outside), a flat tyre on roads with more potholes than bitcumn, and enjoyed some lovely scenery and fresh ...
I should pay attention to the tagline
... mean, if a city describes itself as 'the summer capital of estonia', it's probably best not to visit towards the middle of autumn. Estonia's party town in the summer, I found it to be a remarkably quiet place. A little too quiet really, as there's not ...
Another Day in Paradise
... collection of 1970's communist magazines in the top attic. A historian's dream but a strange collection for a school in capitalist Estonia, don't you think ? We visited Padise Klooster, the ruins of an ancient monastery and we climbed the stairs to the ...
Parnu
Bussed down the country 127km south on Eurolines to Parnu, staying Koidula Park hotel On Kuninga (more reminisent of a Blackpool B&B I'd say only dearer), beside it was an 18th century Elizabethan church with lovely maroon and ochre brick work and over ...
Entrancing Estonia
... Call before two days of sailing back to England. I think they may have saved one of the best for last. Tallinn, Estonia is beyond charming. This medieval city along the Gulf of Finland had us wishing for more time. As we ...
Tallinn
Tallinn ARTIST: Ivan Constantinovich Aivazovsky http://www.geocodedart.com/asset/art/Tallinn.jpg The Baltic looks calm and glassy, uncharacteristic for an Aivazovsky sea or harbor scene. The sharp pointed tower of the Niguliste (St. Nicholas) ...
Back to Tallinn and meeting Meelis
After my visit to the sights of Tartu, I went back to Mihkel's apartment, finished all the food (there won't be anybody in the house for the next month, so the fridge had to be emptied...:) ) and i finished the book I have been reading on this trip : Get ...
The Medieval Town
Hung over I sat in the town square drunk lots of lemonade; it was cold but not too bad. I started off the day in Raekoja Plats the old town hall built in 1371 with Vana Toomas the tower which was not open. Around the square I visited the Dominican ...

Campers and Volunteers Mesh on Day 1

Tartu University and Indian Food
My wife was feeling a little ill today, so she spent most of the time inside the hotel room. Our eldest daughter, Alyssa has been staying with my parents and we have had Elena. So today, I pretty much took the kids around town and she ...
It is the end of the on Tues here in Sulbi
... and we decided to fill you in on some of the silliness that has arisen mostly from lack of sleep. As we began to explore Estonia, we noticed a recurring word: pood. Yes, you read right...pood. It just sounds funny. We soon found out that what it ...
across the Baltic sea
21/5-23/5 Dave and I have thought of reaching Estonia as a bit like starting leg two of our journey. We had planed a lot of leg one, we knew where we were going to go and what we were going to see, but at the moment we don't even know what order we ...
