Monday 31st May

Off to Narva--border town---to hotel to clean up, ready for Russia-----found Hotel Narva--great 5 minutes from border crossing--we walked up and saw the cars queueing, there is also a huge castle and river, great for photos but left the camera in hotel!!! Went and had a pizza then a beer in hotel room and we found an english channel on the television showing a film that we had not seen before, great---wow---Russia tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday 30th May

backtracking because Lee saw a Jaguar breakers and thinks they may have a suitable spring----no good-----drive down to lake its beautiful and free parking but of course thousands of mosquitos!!!

Saturday 29th May

very cold last night, doesn't get dark till about 11pm--moon low in sky---weather today is ok but not warm enough for the beach, so off to Tallin---still only one or two motorbikes and no bike shops---continue to the sea--see sign for St.Petersburg 323km....Today we have seen only one animal--a dog--no sheep no cows nothing--trees are in blossom and dandylions are flowering---every house we see is different never two the same.......Arrived at a place called Kunda--no seaside just factories--yuk---6pm and nowhere to stop, sides of roads are all drainage ditches and bus stops---another 2 hours before we find a site!!
