• From Latvian to Estonian Beaches

    25 Temmuz 2024, Estonya ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    The day began with rain, so that we canceled our plan of going to the Sooma National Park once we've entered Estonia and instead decided to drive to Pärnu slowly.
    So we left our apartment in Kemeri behind and began our 3h long journey. As we had to drive through Riga again, I had to calm myself down because of all the cars and stupid drivers on the crowded streets.
    But after we left Riga behind, the streets got better. And after a short while, we made a short break on yet another beach. This time was special though. Because this time, Aluna went into the sea - by her own! Without any force or convincing. I was so proud!
    I think, she finally saw, that the Latvian beaches are super flat and that she could actually stand in the water. She jumped around like a bunny and it was just super cute to look at.
    After playing around in the water enough, we continued our way to Pärnu. Shortly after the begin of our second stint, we entered Estonia via a completely anonymous border. Not even a sign told us that we were in another country now. Weird.
    Then we drove to our apartment for the night, however we first had the wrong address and drove somewhere completely different. Luckily, the real address was only 20min away.
    Arriving in Sindi, we ate some Pelimeni and then went off again to yet another beach. But hey, we haven't seen the Estonian beaches yet!
    The Ladies Beach in Pärnu was just as nice as the Latvian beaches and the surrounding park was very calm and green. We ate some much needed Soft ice cream afterwards and Aluna liked that nearly as much as the sea.
    When the sun began to set, we drove back to the apartment and sat down by the fire with the owner, drinking some cider and calming down after this actually rather calm day.
