Tervis Spa Parnu

I let the tent dry out a little after we got up. The kids had a go at archery, using one bow and six arrows. The manager supervised them for about 20 minutes, before he got bored. I could sense his growing realisation, that the arrow arcing into the ground six feet away, was likely to be the best shot of the day.

We headed for Pärnu, a pretty seaside town, ten minutes away. Nick scared the wits out of a Polish lorry driver by trying to turn the wrong way up a ...

Jöekääru Adventure Camp is not quite what it seems. Its advertising boasts of corporate facilities, an adventure park, archery, kayaking, paint-balling and a climbing wall. In reality, it is a quiet but pleasant campsite with a play area for the children. It is probably more suited to us, than the all singing, all dancing campsite it pretends to be.

To be fair, it does have at least one of each of the items it claims to have, but they are not exactly in mint ...

As we were so excited the night before, all this packing, getting to know each other (as we didn't have all the time in the world for that), few glasses of wine ... We woke up at 12pm the next day. Although we were a little disappointed that we didn't have an early start we felt fresh from the long sleep and happy that we both shared the same sleeping pattern. (as long as we can!) We made ...

... to cancel my reservation, and the cancellation fee will even out my savings, but I'll know better next time.

As soon as we arrived at hotel I sent a text message to the bike rental company in Tallinn that the bike I rented for Venla is now in Pärnu and can now be picked up from the hotel. After not receiving any reply to my SMS I called them and told the same thing. They asked to leave the bike locked outside of the hotel and leave keys to the reception. I did as I was ...

... of Tallinn. Instead of stopping by at least for a day and taking a proper look around, all I got there was just a brief stop-over. They say the town becomes pretty sleepy come autumn, but in summer it allegedly springs to life with life on the beach, dozens of festivals, night clubs and the big party crowd that moves in here for the season. Of course, for us from the Mediterranean, saying that a town above 58° of ...

This blog is now finished. I will stay in Estonia for a couple of days, celebrate the weekend in Riga, and fly to Singapore on Monday. I will be living & working in Singapore for about 1-1,5 years (well, that's at least the plan), traveling around the neighboring countries. If and when I manage to create a blog about my trips around there, it will most probably reside in blogspot.com. Life goes on. Enjoy every moment.

... one too fast (so almost got fined) Generally, it feels very strange, looking back at the past weeks. So many different places, so different people, so different experiences. A bit unbelievable that I was in South Africa only yesterday. But what do you know - just a bit more than 20 hours of flying, sleeping, eating, driving - and that's that!

... us to the veue to appreciate the idea that 100,000 people had turned up, 10 percent of the whole population of the country!! We then drove to the Old Town. We have been pretty unlucky with the weather. As we arrived at the walls of the city a storm and torrential downpour occurred. We saw the Presidential palace and the beautiful Russian Orthodox church opposite. The town was packed wth tour groups. There were several Cruise ships in port for the day so we had to ...

... can think of. You will be full for the rest of the day after eating one. We then headed to 'Beer House' for some drinks after. The bar is one of Tallinn's only microbars and the beer they serve is fantastic and comes in these massive jugs, you're getting plastered after just two. While chatting to Viktorria about life back in Dublin it was incredible to think that since I began this trip I've met up with so many former work colleges, it seems I can resign from the job but ill never quite be ...

... but unfortunately I never tried this. Still that a few more things that Bournemouth has to offer unless you want a ride on a hot air balloon. (1-0 Parnu) One of Parnu's mud baths can be found inside this beach side building The golden-sand beaches between the two resorts is very similar but the Bournemouth beach is ...
