Saaremaa

Today we boarded another ferry to the biggest island – Saaremaa. On this island, we found more windmills, deserted beaches and old farms. We spent the night camped in the backyard of an old lady who was a friend of a friend of a long lost relative we found in Estonia. It was free.






The second day we drove to the Sorve peninsula, where we saw a big old lighthouse, and Ivar made it to the southernmost point. Dee was distracted searching for amber in the pebbles and seaweed that she didn’t make it that far!








We had dinner in a windmill, and returned to the tent armed with Saku and a bunch of Eesti Kroons for our newly adjusted poker game. (Four handed poker with two people and double the chance of winning!) It was the last night in our tent for the entire holiday. We have spent about 3 months in the tent, so it was a little emotional. It is covered in bugs and dirt from around 10 countries, but it got us to the end. Even so, we are glad to be finally out of the tent and in proper beds until we get home!! The next morning we left early to catch the ferry to the mainland. We took a detour on the way, searching for an old fortress…we ended up driving through waterlogged muddy bog streets and seeing nothing but old cows.
