• Haapsalu

    May 25–28 in Estonia ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    According to google Haapsalu is a picturesque, historic seaside resort town on Estonia’s west coast, renowned for its healing mud spas, romantic wooden architecture, and shallow, warm swimming bays.

    Shallow yes! It has been quite brisk since we arrived and wind coming off the Baltic Sea is not warm in any language! It has a population of around 10,000 and it is clearly not the main tourist season yet. A lot of places are still closed - but it is very pretty nonetheless.
