In the morning we were warmed by a fire, had breakfast and admired our surroundings. Then on. But after about 5kms there was a cafe. There are so few that it is a shame not to support them. We enjoyed a second breakfast if pancakes. On leaving we encountered a couple of Germans doing the route in reverse. Long distance cyclists are also rare, so we stopped for a chat. They recommended a change of route, going inland to a campsite at Kasepere, where they had arrived wet the previous night and been given a sauna and from there you could follow a disused railway line all the way to Haapsalu. This seemed attractive. The road we were on was fairly busy and there was a long unpleasant stretch of roadworks. We turned off onto a quiet road with the wind less against us. Regretfully there was no sauna that night but we did have a nice hut, an excellent supper provided and breakfast the next day.
The road the next day started well, but then disintegrated to a very stony dirt road. The disused sectioned of the railway line started at Riisipere but we reckoned we could pick it up one station later at Turba. We stopped there for the supermarket and a little market outside with a stall selling biscuits and sweets, another clothes and another pototoes from the back of a van. The biscuits were good but we didn't try the potatoes.
Then it hailed. Not a good omen for the rest of the day, but we were able to shelter in the supermarket.
I shall now publish this for fear of losIng it.
