    Last cycle day into Tallin, Estonia

    August 29, 2017 in Estonia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    This morning's ride is just a short 10 km ride along a smooth bike track from our accommodation to the main town of Kuressaare, still on Saameraa Island. I didn't even bother with bike gear today, even rode in my sandals. A lovely sunny day.
    We had 1 1/2 hours exploring Kuressaare. They have a great castle there too. There's a memorial to the 1941 "Red terror", a mass murder of peasants, 91 people slaughtered. That was pretty moving and disturbing.
    From there we visited Kaali crater where a meteorite hit around 4000 years ago.
    Then onto the ferry "Piret strong woman of the sea" to mainland Estonia on drive to Tallin.
    We had to say goodbye to our 2 local blokes. Minda and I had a little cry and a hug 😢
    We all got on really well and a bit sad to be finishing but also looking forward to our next adventure
    After a 2 hour walking tour of Old Town Nic and I had tea at a Medieval themed restaurant. Food and atmosphere was terrific
