Hotel Paeva Villa Haapsalu

... features--first, the Old Town is extremely old, and looks it. Helsinki is very modern, and more modern than most European cities, by comparison. Katri says that this is mostly because Finland was, until the last 150 years or so, a rural peasant society, and so there was little in the way of very old metropolitan centers to exist at all. The other thing that's weird about Tallinn is that it's one of those places that's falling all over itself to show everyone how ...

... We took our first ferry during the trip. Excited about traveling with a boat we explore the corners and possibilities on board. There is more cars on the boat than we predicted. In one of them I notice a family that catches my eye and I am thinking something like: "they look interesting, I would like to know them." Mother with a baby in a car, father outside the car drinking a cup of coffee. "Hey, I would also like to drink a cup of coffee" so I go and find one ...

... while Dave is driving! Damn sat nav! Despite this we arrived to Haapsalu with out a problem. It is a small town on wet lands like area, meant to be good for bird watching; we came here really because the lady at the tourist office said too. It wasn't a bad town, but there isn't much there. The wind had followed us from the north coast so it didn't make for fun walking along the promenade, but we had a nice walk, and stopped to have the cheapest ...

Destination 23:   km43'335 Der Sonderausflug reduziert sich nur auf Insel Saaremaa, da Fähre nach Hiiumaa nur 4x täglich fährt. Darum gehts weiter um sicherzustellen, dass WM- Match FRA-SUI in Tallinn gesehen werden kann... Beinahe gestürzt während Fahrt, da Strasse Baustelle war und dies in Estland heisst: Fahrbahn ist nicht mit Schotter, sondern mit bis zu ...

... geschlichen und dann unters Vorzelt....... Eine Katze!! XXXXX The cold weather has gone and it's getting warm! I stoped in Liiva for a special trip to the islands Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. I feel deep bad about the occurence from yesterday and even I got shocked by night as there was a cat crawled under the outer tarp.........a cat!!

Ya he pasado el ecuador de mi vida erasmus...parece mentira....llevo meses sin actualizar mi travelpod..... Estonia se ha convertido en cotidianidad, y por eso da pereza escribir sobre ello...Aun así, todos los días pasan cosas nuevas, casi siempre buenas....Y no puedo más que agradecer a Estonia cada día que he pasado aquí. He hecho una selección de fotografía que resumen de algún modo mis primeros seis meses ...

... Palace and the waterfront promenade, which we thought best to visit before the daylight weakened much further. Halfway there a sleety snow began to fall, making a grand site particularly miserable as we tried to navigate the huge sheets of moribund ice underfoot. The geography of the fortifications turned us around completely, but by now the beach was out of ...

... a place for the Soviet Army, only residents could get to the island till 15 years ago. Anyhow, the island is awesome, so nice...it is little you just have to rent a bike and lose yourself there...with a couple of days is more than enough...We were living in a Farm House, by the sea, we eat estonian food and made traditional sauna, which is better than the common one.... I prefer not to write .....just see the pictures.
