Day 5 Voru to Tartu

Today we visited Suur Munamagi - the highest mountain in Estonia. It is 318m high. We climbed it in about 3 minutes. They had at least two resting spots on the way! We climbed the observation tower, and because Eesti is so flat, we could see almost to Tallinn! (Okay, not that far....but far!) We took a bunch of photos and headed off to Tartu, our next stop.





On the way, we saw the Tamme Lauri - Estonia's oldest and largest Oak Tree. It was very exciting seeing this tree, which we had been chasing around Eesti! We spent about half an hour there trying to get a good leaf off of the tree, trying feet on shoulders, throwing dee into the air, Ivar leaping off of the trunk, etc etc.....eventually we grabbed one that didn't have too many bite marks! We carried onto Tartu...



Tartu is a university town in Tallinn. The uni was founded in 1672. The town was very much a uni town, it had a few great old buildings, including the 'leaning house of tartu', but being the 2nd largest town in Estonia wasn't quite our thing.
