snapshots of Vormsi...

Here is a little account of a beautiful day we spent in Vormsi, an island (one of the largest in size in estonia, but only 16km long) not too far from haapsalu. We had a nice journey and shared some homemade chocolate cake we had brought, with the other volunteers.
Once landed on Vormsi, we rented some bikes and decided to do one loop around half of the island (the only roads are in the shape of an 8 ) there’s hardly anybody living on Vormsi and you an se signs with “the hairdresser truck will pass through the village at 3pm on tuesday 12th” all the people get their hair cut on the same day ! that must be something.

We had hardly started cycling that we noticed two deer grazing in the distance. in just a few hours, we saw about 7 of them ! there were many more plants and wildlife than anywhere else and the houses were still like they used to be in estonia in the olden days. It was as if time had stopped and everything had stayed intact. A great feeling.

We enjoyed being together and could share some conversations as we rode our bikes, only disturbed by a few mosquitos. We saw a chapel dedicated to St Olaf (very popular saint around here) and some round crosses, similar to the celtic ones.

In the evening, we were treated to a local cafeteria, where they served some regional food in an oldy atmosphere.
A great day, which was ended by our return trip and some irish tin whistle playing on the boat… very appreciated by the
passengers !
