Riga

Arrived on a sunny afternoon. After skipping lunch, now very hungry and sitting in a restaurant for early supper.

On the way to Riga

Having a cup of coffee on Pernu beach. First 100 km on the long way back.

Panic in the morning

Woke up to the shock of a big splotch of blood in my eye and after the initial panic, visions of a day spent at an eye specialist in a foreign country, was able to self diagnose via internet. Seems my gut wrenching sneezing in Helsinki caused subconjunctival-hemorrhage

Tallinn old town

Rain, wind, 9C. Hotel staff say it's not their fault but they are lying.

Almost in Estonia

Drove Qasem and Mona to Helsinki airport in the afternoon then boarded the Baltic Princess to Tallinn. Qasem and Mona just SMSed their arrival in Duesseldorf and we are also entering the harbour. We will sleep on the ship and drive into town tomorrow morning.
