The 10 hour ferry trip back to Sweden and the 850 km southward ride to Denmark was uneventful so I have no pics from this last leg of the trip to Estonia and Latvia.
But the Honda and I did 4500 kms in 13 days and it was a fantastic experience 👍🌍🏍️😎
Cemetery with Russian pIlots that died in service between 1944 and 1989.
Interesting for several reasons:
First, because many of the grave headstones are made of the tail fin of the pilots aircraft.
Second, because it is still here. Russian monuments are not popular in Estonia now.
Third, because I found it. The area is not signposted or visible from the road (Research before a motorcycle trip makes wonders)
An interesting place because it includes a former Russian prison and the inmates was forced to work in the limestone quarry.
It was flooded after they shut down the draining pumps in the early 90’ies, and unfortunately it is now a tourist swimming place with ice cream, burgers, entrance fee, etc.
This is not the experience I was looking for, so I just took a few pictures from the other side of the quarry and moved on.
(The overview picture is stolen from the internet and showed the place before they made it a tourist trap.)
It was probably not allowed to visit the area and ride the bike on the runway and in the hangars, but it didn’t seem like strictly prohibited either 😇.
With a big tree in front of one of the goals !
It deserves a treat after +2000 kms trouble free service 🥳
Quite good, and plenty of calories for a day !
This is as far away you can get from Talinn in Estonia.
