ESTONIA DAY 128 636 km. & DAY 129

SAINT PETERSBURG  TO  TALLINN, ESTONIA

Was a long day, had to go to the southern border of Estonia and Russia which was 347 kms south and then headed NW up to Tallinn the capital 289 kms , basically the length of the country.
The border crossing was no problem the Russians were amazed I was from Africa, peeped into my panniers and forty five minutes later was on my way to Estonian border. They asked me for my drivers license, insurance and the bike registration and my two passports and also took about forty five minutes.

 The countryside is so different with mostly farms and fields and very sparsely populated and they drive so much more safer here and the houses are all in good shape, no signs of poverty.

Arrived at around five to the campground which was not there so went to the gas station where they have wifi and found a hostel nearby Old Town.
