Pärnu - Pernava, Estonia
3 Stars This place was Average visited Aug 12, 2005
Not sure why this blog insists that Pärnu is Pernava, but at least the spot on the map is right! Rides: 2 cars and a truck Weather: after more days of mostly rain, we finally saw some sun today! And my shoes are dry for the first time in days! Finally properly on the road. We had been standing 20m from the last bus stop along the road to Pärnu for approximately 30 seconds when our first ride picked us up. And took us about 20km down the road. To an inconvenient spot. A short walk through a long downpour later, and we got another ride for another 20km or so. Then we waited an hour before a polish truck driver picked us up and took us all the way to the outskirts of Parnu. We had hoped for some sun, or at least, lack of rain, in the supposedly sunny beach-holiday destination or Parnu, but all we got was more unsettled rain, then sun. At least we managed to pack the tent up after a dry hour, so it wasn't completely soggy! Pärnu is a small town, full of the wooden houses typical of this part of the world. The beach, which we were on for about 5 mins, seemed allright, although the water was about the same colour as the sand, which disturbed me a bit. And the sky was absolutely full of parasurfer sails - it's a pretty effect on mass! On to Riga next.
