Day Three: Kingisepp to Saka

258km down: 5,967km to go.

Today we left Russia for Estonia, heading to Saka. We cycled 95km. There was a different atmosphere as soon as we crossed the border out of Russia into Estonia. The road went through fields of wheat and canola, kilometre after kilometre of it.

The first half of the ride was highway, then country road – no more trucks, yay. I managed to put up my tent successfully.

I have plenty of stories for the blog, but unfortunately our accommodation only had Wifi, which is only good if you have a laptop or iPad.

Day Two: Peterhof to Kingisepp

163km down: 6,062km to go.

Arrived safely in Kingisepp last night (Monday), after cycling for 118km.  Today (Tuesday) we leave for Estonia, hopefully I will find an internet café there to update you all on my travels.

Tonight we are staying at the Saka Cliff Hotel and Spa overlooking the Baltic Sea – it sounds very posh but of course we will be in tents in the campground.
