Page Description

This photogallery consists of many photos from our 2007 Summer holiday in the beautiful and busy city of Tallinn (capital city of Estonia) and also a long stay at the large and peaceful Estonian islands of Muhu and Saaremaa. Tallinn is more aimed for city tours or walks, museums and church visiting, shopping, dining out, night life, etc. On the other hand, The islands of Saaremaa and Muhu are ideal for relaxation, nature-experience, quite and peaceful walks in the countryside, swimming, biking, mud spa, etc. In fact, Saaremaa is described as the islands where time stands still. It also offers a touch of history, have a medevial castle in the capital city called Kuressaare. The latter city also offers some night life, fine restaurants, and shops. Most of the islands is however adorned by untouchable nature parks, meadows, forests, and shallow beaches. In fact accomodation is mostly in camping sites rather than hotels.

This first photo from Saaremaa describes how in general, the peaceful and green island looks like. This was taken from Vatta peninsula, south part of Saaremaa. The island enjoys both rich flora and fauna, and is the ideal place for those who wants a peaceful holiday close to nature.

Stephen climbed a high sight tower to get this beautiful view of part of the Matsalu Nature Reserve. This is situated on the west coast of Estonia's mainland, just south of Haapsalu. Green land, a river, meadows, grazing cattle, a tractor - so perfect that it looks like a scene from a film.

Miranda enjoyed the fresh air a lot, and was happy to get a break from the car seat. Unfortunately there were lots of mosquitos here, otherwise a very nice place.

Miranda is showing the cute flower that her dad bought her from Tallinn. Here we are on the ferry from Virtsu (Estonia mainland) to Kuivastu on the small island Muhu. It was very windy on the ferry, as you can see from Miranda's wild hair. We like Miranda's expresion and her half-open shirt (sort of tough girl!)

Here is the entrance to Kuressaare's fairytale-like Castle, undoubtfully the most important site on Saaremaa. We visited this castle 2 years ago, so this time we did not visited again.It is quite impressive how good shape and well organised the castle is.
