Last Pics From The Bikes

Yesterday was our last day on the bikes. It was also the first time we encountered rain in the 10 days since we began. Nothing that dampened our day of cycling around a small island visiting an ethnology museum, a wool factory, local bakery and other 'look/see' places.

This tour has finished in Tallinn where we'll spend the day before moving on to meeting up with Christopher in the UK and having a short jaunt to Spain.

The Texan and the Halva bar. We've been introduced to this delicious Halva snack by one of our cycling buddies. She was feeling rather tall in this photo. 

Feeding in the carded wool which is being spun onto bobbins at the other end. At this factory they mix the wool of black and white sheep together. The machines are very old and the garments that are knitted are traditional style.

Many of the houses by the sea have thatched roofs made from reeds that grow in massive clumps on the shore's edge.

A local legend tells of two brothers living on different islands. They called on a giant to place rocks to connect the islands so they could visit each other. So, David is attempting to help the giant with the help of one of our Austrian cycling buddies. (The 2 brothers are on the shoulders of the giant).

A pretty door at the wool factory.
