21/07/08 - Estonia's leading seaside resort town.


It was a good thing we went for swim last night, cause our beautiful
camp spot was just a little windy this morning. Never mind, good
excuse for another sleep in then we were off down the road to Parnu.

The guide book described Parnu as Estonia's leading seaside resort.
More interested in old medieval towns, this didn't really tickle my
fancy too much, but nonetheless we had to go see for ourselves.

While it was not up there with Tallin, is wasn't exactly that bad. A
nice predestrian main street and huge beach to laze about on. It
definitely wasn't a resort town by standards round other parts of the
world, but I guess it is heading in that direction.

Once we had spent an hour or two looking around and done a bit of
internet banking, we headed for the Sooma National Park. Under the
watchful eye of a big black storm cloud, we took the risk and headed
out on a 5km boardwalk over peat and moor land. Unfortunately Marea
did not find any more berries to feast on, but at least the storm
cloud didn't come any closer, so we stayed nice and dry.
