A beach in Pärnu where our dogs weren't allowed, a night at an RMK forest campsite right by the Baltic and a wind that rocked our van. Next morning: boardwalks and nest boxes in Kabli, and some jars nobody expected.
Two planks laid across a real bog, stunted pines, dark pools and a wooden tower with a view over the whole of Viru Bog. An easy walk for the whole family, dogs included.
A captains' village with boulders in the sea, a giant Estonian swing that inspired kiiking, and a beaver trail where the beavers stayed hidden. One day in Lahemaa.
A Border Guard helicopter, a fighter jet with a wild boar on its nose and a Polish Wilga in an Estonian hangar. Plus a police check on the way that pulled our Iveco over.
Fifteen days in our van through all three Baltic states, with four daughters and two golden retrievers. Canoeing the Gauja with the dogs, Estonian bogs, a thunderstorm in Riga and bus tickets for six in Kaunas. The whole route, day by day.
