The last 35km in contrary to the first 75km i had the pleasure of enjoying back wind and totally flat landscape.
During a small pause in front of a shop on the countryside, i got in conact with two elder locals..both barely speaking English. We still had a good 'chat' and in the end, one of them even shook my hand, patted me on the shoulder and told me something in Estonian. Moving scene even though i didn't understand a word. =o)

Todays trip from Pärnu to Haapsalu was quite rich of events. It started with getting into rainfall for about 1.5hours. Therefore i added some additional stops to wring out my shirt and socks...
In a small countryside cafe i got in touch with Russian hospitality...the coffee came accompanied by a 'Village Whiskey' as i got told.
While fighting against the head wind i still lifted my head from time to time and encountered quite nice views.

Although the weather doesn't invite to lay on the beach, i'm already really enjoying my stay in Pärnu. The combination of marvellous landscape and nice restaurants has enchanted me.

This morning i crossed the border to a new country again. This means once again adapting to a new environment - new language, new roads..but at least i was already familiar with the currency, the Euro.
The first thing i noticed was actually a sign to a bicycle-track, a paved, quiet bicycle-track. What a surprise.
The half way i was on a proper street with very few traffic and every now and then i could see the Baltic Sea through the trees. All in all a very comfortable day.
about luxury

Just some minutes away from my tent, a beautiful spot to watch the sunset.
That as well means luxury to me.
