Mosquitoes buzzed past the windows and in the space above us, held back nicely by the built-in mozzie net. Feeling a little smug, we watched them for a bit before shooing them off and closing the skylight, suddenly nervous they might find a way in. They&#8217;re big, slow swines around here. I like to think I&#8217;m a &#8216;live and let live&#8217; type of geezer. Unless you&#8217;re a mosquito, in which case I&#8217;m more of a violent mass murderer type.

Why would it be favoured over its Baltic brothers? Dunno to be honest. It just feels better for us motorhome-based wanderers. Free camping seems abundant. No-one seems to spend much attention on us, regardless of how in-the-fray we are. The roads haven&#8217;t been ripped up. The politeness of people feels touching. The towns feel clean, tidy and more affluent than their southern neighbours. Since we&#8217;ve been here just a handful of days, it&#8217;s a bit early to declare Estonia a favourite, but so far so good.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22041\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22041\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22041\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC02992-1024x524-1024x524.jpg\" alt=\"Not seen a single moose yet.

As I did, I noticed the coolant level&#8217;s dropped below the minimum, and looking down spotted the pink stuff again bleeding from a small hole in the radiator. Radweld is required. Thankfully our garage back home fixed the temperature gauge so we know we&#8217;re not getting above normal temperature yet, but a solution&#8217;s needed to keep us going for the next few months.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22042\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22042\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22042\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC02993-1024x400-1024x400.jpg\" alt=\"Our first free-camp spot in Viljandi (N53.35911, E25.60298) before we shifted 650m down the lake to here\" width=\"620\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC02993-1024x400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC02993-1024x400-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC02993-1024x400-768x300.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22042\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our first free-camp spot in Viljandi (N53.35911, E25.60298) before we shifted 650m down the lake to here<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;m grateful that&#8217;s my job, as Ju&#8217;s taken on a far nastier thing: getting the van insurance sorted. Buying cover which allows you to spend more than 9 months on the road, and which also covers Morocco, isn&#8217;t easy. At least not for a reasonable price. Ju&#8217;s on the case though, and we&#8217;ve still got a couple of weeks to get a policy sorted out.<\/p>\n<p>As noted above, today we&#8217;re in Viljandi, which is a small town in Southern Estonia, with a rather fetching lake and a ruined castle which once stood strong across three hills. The lake, by the way, is taunting us. There&#8217;s a 13km running track around it which is used once a year for an international race. It looks flat. The countryside looks lovely. The weather is warm but not too hot. The van&#8217;s about as safe as it gets with all these locals about. We need to go and run round the lake. But I have beer in the fridge. Run? or Beer?

There are signs in English knocking about at most spots explaining interesting stuff &#8211; like the fact the castle was excavated by the local schoolteacher, who wasn&#8217;t an archaeology expert, and the fact the well-loved major was sent to Siberia, where he only lasted a year. The wars washing back and forth over this region flattened many of the buildings here, left wide open green spaces right across the town. A small consolation for the mayhem perhaps, but it really adds to the feel of the place.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22048\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22048\" class=\"wp-image-22048 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03006-1024x640-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Viljandi's town mayor in the 1930's before being shipped to the far reaches of neighbouring Russia\" width=\"620\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03006-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03006-1024x640-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03006-1024x640-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22048\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Viljandi&#8217;s town mayor in the 1930&#8217;s before being shipped to the far reaches of neighbouring Russia<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_22047\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22047\" class=\"wp-image-22047 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03002-1024x513-1024x513.jpg\" alt=\"Lots of Estonian flags are flying here - this chap was just popping his up\" width=\"620\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03002-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03002-1024x513-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03002-1024x513-768x385.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22047\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lots of Estonian flags are flying here &#8211; this chap was just popping his up<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_22049\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22049\" class=\"wp-image-22049 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC03008-1024x674-1024x674.jpg\" alt=\"Most of the town's in good nick.
