Cycling Day: 17
Distance: 132km
Marko and Koidu took us back to Parnu in the morning and we started cycling (in the rain again, of course). The rain was really bad today, it got quite windy as well. We had a lunch of burgers and coffee again. Although the Estonians like to braai, they are not really bothered about meat. For example, when in the supermarket yesterday, we couldn't find beef, only pork, and Marko and Koidu couldn't understand why it mattered. They asked "Is there a difference?". Today Billy ordered 2 burgers, one arrived without a patty! When we showed this to the waiter, she also looked baffled that it should bother us, but at least brought him his patty.
We were supposed to stay with another girl in Parnu, but when we arrived at her house, there was nobody there. The door was open, but the place looked like a hurricane hit it, ask us for more details, so we quickly left. Luckily, Marko from Parnu told us that he has a flat in Tallinn too, because he works there and if anything happens we could stay with him also. So after a lot of effort to get hold of a phone (we eventually convinced a guy at the supermarket counter to let us use their phone), we phoned Marko and he met us at his work place where we stored our bikes.
Marko stays in a nice flat in Tallinn, with his roommate, Karin, who is also a very interesting girl. She has cycled around Ireland completely on her own. We were all sleepy, so made an early night of it.
