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.

Saaremaa and Muhu are famous for their large wooden windmills. This was the most popular windmill in Muhu, situated at west of the island, not far away from the bridge. It is called the Eemu windmill, and close by there are some good souvenir shops.

Beside Eemu windmills there was a display of wooden lambs with real lamb wool, which seems to be a common souvenir on Saaremaa and Muhu. Miranda looked a bit surprised when placed in between the wooden lambs!

It took us a lot of off-road driving to find Muhu Earth Stronghold (initially mislead by the touristic map). When we finally found our way, we were somehow disappointed since we found a sort of a clearing surrounded by 5m high wasteground, and this monument at the centre of the clearing. However this place have considerable important history.

In fact cows are very common in Saaremaa and Muhu and during your drive you often see this cow-depicted traffic sign. Despite the number of cows, beef was not really a speciality at the restaurants. Lamb or mutton was more emphasized in the local restaurants.
