Across Estonia


We have successfully ridden across Estonia and passed 1000km. After the incredibly flat Northern Estonia the south provided small rolling hills to keep things interesting. 
After leaving Maria's house near Tartu  
We road to Otepää national park. The camping site was fantastic with a picturesque clear lake, chopped wood and fireplace provided we settled in for a rest day.
Setting off again the follow day was a rush as dark clouds engulfed the campsite and heavy drops of rain began to fall. The destination was Valga on the Estonian/Latvian boarder.
We stop half way to visit a impressive castle in Sangaste. Unfortunately the castle was looted after the counts death and the inside was only partly restored.
We took an alternate route into Valga along a dirt road surrounded by huge pines and it wasn't long before we arrived at my dads cousin Riho and wife Sophias' apartment.
