A weekend in Estonia

Hello dears,

Last weekend I went to spring trip of Lääketekniset. Me and my follow union members spend a weekend in Estonian countryside. It was a fun weekend. I met a new people and saw some really nice places.

On Friday afternoon we took a ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn. From Tallin we took a bus to Nelijärve Puhkekeskus. Nelijärve Puhkekeskus was middle of the nowhere, meaning middle of the forest. Which means there was a lot of mosquitos, which means that I'm full of mosquito bites now. For a some reason mosquitos loves my blood. Anyhow, Friday evening we just relaxed and enjoyed the sunny evening.

Saturday morning we had breakfast at the hotel. After the breakfast we started our tour around Estonian countryside. We saw lots of mansions, a little villages, apple trees (lots of them, every garden was at least one apple tree) and Siimusti pottery facotory. I bought Estonian pottery to myself and also for my mother as birthday present.

 
First place we visited was an old train station.
 

Roosna Allikun mansion. I love old buildings like this one. I could live there. Easily.

I saw many herons in Estonia.
 
This building was behind the old mansion.



All churches I saw in Estonia had similar kind of roof as this church.



 On Saturday evening when we were back in Nelijärve Puhkekeskus some of us went to sauna and swimming. I went to rest in my room. Around 20:30 we had dinner and after it we sat outside at the terrance drinking wine and talking. I had to go in bed around midnight. I was so tired ( and full of mosquito bites).

Sunday morning started with breakfast. After breakfast we packed our stuffs and continued our journey to the Albu mansion. From mansion we headed to Tammsaare museum. I liked a lot Tammsaare museum.

In Finnish this swing is called as "kyläkeinu", very freely translated it means "village swing".

From Tammsaare we rode back to Tallinn where we had lunch before getting back to Helsinki. I must say I liked a lot this trip. I saw a lot of nice places and met a new people with similar sence of humour.

Till next time!
