Life on the Farm


Sunday

Breakfast: potatoes, European sausages, eggs, yogurt, cereal, fruit, an assortment of breads and buns.

Drizzling rain, but all were aboard the bus by 10:00am with our local guide.  Our first stop was the Panga Cliffs.  Very interesting limestone cliffs right down into the sea.  The water was crystal clear.  An earth cache was our first find of the day.
Straight ahead...Helsinki about 70kms
Every town has a swing


On to Angela where there were a collection of wooden windmills to view and go inside.  Steps up to the first platform offered a chance to walk outside.  The upper levels were found by 2 inside sets of stairs.
Horses
And goats
And sheep....oh and a cache!

A medieval church (complete with a cache) was next.  Very interesting figures on the wall and stained glass windows.  It has been restored but it's so interesting to know that these places have been here since the 1300's




A beautiful poppy field!

Our second earth cache was a meteorite sight where one if the holes is a small lake.  It is a very peaceful spot.  Bonus was another traditional cache.  This was also our lunch stop.  As we were heading in, a bus pulled up carrying the National Girls Choir of Estonia who were on their way to Russia for a competition.  They provided a short concert for us in front of the museum...voices were exquisite.  Each was dressed in the local costume of their region.


Lunch was Estonian food.  We had a veggi/meat soup which was a very filling meal.

The last stop was a grocery stop for those who needed snacks.  Back to the farm for a rest, doing laundry or exploring the neighbourhood.

6:30 was dinner time at the farm....  pumpkin/ginger soup, breads, roast chicken, potatoes, 3 salads.  Dessert was strawberry smoothies and fresh strawberries!  Need walk to wear off the dinner.  


PS We are upping the details on the food because I know S. wants to hear about it!
