Estonia ⋅ I've been remiss in taking photos again! From Saremaa I tool the ferry across to Hiiumaa, which was a lovely island in its own right, camped there one night then took the ferry to the mainland to the town of Haapsula. Seaside resort town apparently, quaint and pretty quiet. From there along theRead more
Estonia ⋅ So, made it to Saremaa, and spent several days camped up here. The island is beautiful and I wish I'd spent more time exploring, as I've ended up with a spare day or two! Never mind. Swam in the sea, a lovely warm clear sandy cove by the campground. Awesome.
Estonia ⋅ So back to Riga for a couple of days after touring the Kolka peninsula, then spent the last three days up the coast and entering Estonia! Estonia seems really nice so far, wifi everywhere and good roads. Nice free campsites as well, though the one in in cost 5 euro but I desperately needed a shower,Read more
Latvia ⋅ I camped for two nights on the beach, and it was awesome, if a little lonely! The area has a ton of old abandoned Soviet bunkers. It really brings up the Iron Curtain theme. The only footprints when I arrived where from deer. Awesome!
Latvia ⋅ After seeing Robyn off, I headed West, to do a loop of the peninsula. My first night camping was awesome, so quiet and isolated next to this amazing lake. Second night was less awesome, in a forest full of mosquitos but I hid in the tent and survived! Hit Ventspils, and am camping up the coastRead more
Latvia ⋅ Turns out to be an awesome city! The old town is cute, the beaches lovely, the KGB museum creepy, and food good. Wish I was drinking, some nice looking beers! We cycled to the beach and kayaked the river, both well worth doing. Great place to celebrate Robyns birthday!
United Kingdom ⋅ So back in merry old England! A great chance to catch up with friends while I sort out a new bike. I've settled on a Surly Troll, a solid heavy bike that should see me through any touring I throw at it! Took the opportunity to do a test ride and saw a few interesting things on the way. But packedRead more
Germany ⋅ So, pretty much at the 1000km mark, my rear rack finally failed for good! So jumped on a train and gone to meet friends in Hamburg while I sort it out. Hamburg is a really nice town! Very green, easy to get around, great food. Sadly I couldn't come up with a solution for my bike, so I've decided toRead more
Germany ⋅ After adding a set of front panniers to lighten the load I'm heading one again towards Hamburg. I camped for the last time in Holland near the border, then pushed across to Osnabrück, where I stayed with my first Warmshowers host, a wonderful experience! Tomorrow is onwards to Bremen!
Netherlands ⋅ Or at least, bloody idiot who put it together. Towards the end of the day yesterday my breaks had gotten quite soft, and is forgotten to get spare brake pads. No biggie, I swing into a couple of bike shops en route and get it fixed - one of them was completely through the pad, so it was lucky IRead more
