ON THE ROAD TO TARTU

Viljandi half way betwixt Parnu and Tartu (good grief Estonian is like a foreign language) is a lovely medieval town re-inventing itself post Soviet era and doing a great job.

The Eestis do like their Saunas, this one is mobile and wood fired. People one end Pizza the other?

Cobbled Streets with Mushroom Skies and giant Strawberry Fields Forever. John Lennon must have visited here!

Viljandi has several concert amphitheatres and hosts many concerts each year. Once again however we timed it wrong and will miss the following duet. Arrangement for ocarina and single string fiddle.

By the way the Estonians like a good swing. and so do the Australians apparently.
