On to Kaali

Kaali is a place where a meteorite fell about 7000 years ago.  It left a large crater, now with a lake in it and a number of smaller ones. It's fall is incorporated into folk legends, but we never found out what they were. 

 Generally this was a pleasant day if cycling with the wind behind is much of the time.  We did spend some time trying to find an old church built out of local dolomite.  We finally got it signposted 5km back the way we had come.  We had spent enough time looking already, so did not attempt it again.  Churches are often locked anyway.

We had booked somewhere to stay earlier and found that it was above the museum of the crater.  This meant we had access to the museum, which was otherwise closed.  We were the only ones there and were able to enjoy the facilities of a large dining room, a sauna and the keeping of the museum key.
