The last few attractions on Saaremaa included:

The Old Fort at Kuressaare, now an excellent tourist attraction and venue for social gatherings.

Panorama from the Castle Wall.

The lighthouse at the southern end of Saaremaa which for the inevitable entrance fee allows the willing tourist the chance to climb the 248 steps to the viewing platform and admire the view across the Baltic toward Latvia although it’s not quite high enough to see Latvia. The admission price includes the opportunity to enjoy what I consider to be the best display of model lighthouses to be found anywhere in the world. Not that Iv’e seen that many model lighthouse displays.

Lavtvia?

An illuminating display.

The museum of military “stuff” which including everything from gas masks and Communist propaganda to missiles and information on how to enlist, although having seen the museum I’m not to sure there would be to many starters for enlisting. Not a world domination supermarket but a good start. I really am trying to get this blog a bit more up beat however sometimes its difficult.

Discount rocket.

Propaganda?

Germans here to help.

All the tools.

Lenin also here to help.

Empty I hope.

Finally the Natural History Museum located in a house built in 1875 and apparently specially adapted to display the worlds largest collection of amputated bird feet. Other dissected critters are included however because it’s probably best to concentrate on one mysterious hobby at a time. These images defy captioning I’m afraid, except for “you put your left foot in, you put your left foot out……….”

By the way I will be asking the family ornithologist for a complete and verifiable identification of all the feet we have observed at the Vivisection, sorry scratch that, Natural History Museum. I cant believe I typed that!
