Photos etc of the first days in Estonia



It's my (Katherine) job to add some photos.  I still haven't learnt how to manage these within text, nor to get them in the order I want. These ones are of Narva.  It was very heavily bombed in the war, so very few buildings remain, apart from the castle, the Orthodox Church and townhall.  We were pleased to find the route 1 cycle sign, which has been very good throughout the ride so far.  Also the highest waterfall for Estonia. No it doesn't look very high but then Estonia is pretty flat.  The padlocks left behind are presumably symbols of undying love.  I don't know the symbolism of the tree. Waterfalls tend to have cafés next to them. The pancakes were excellent.

Orthodox Church in Narva.

Medieval town hall in Narva.


We are following he Baltic Sea Cycle Route 1.

Highest waterfall in Estonia.  The shale layer is where they were getting the uranium from.



This worked better than expected!
