27.8: Back to Tartu

My bus wasn’t due to depart Narva until 12.50 so I had the morning to pack and play around with some boring technological things. The weather had mellowed somewhat and was a mixture of sunny clear skies and overcast drizzle throughout the day. After farewelling my host I loaded up my bicycle and wandered over to the bussijaam. The trip back to Tartu took 3.5 hours and was quite pleasant. I added the map to my blog. Along the way, it was interesting to hear the gradual transition in language from Russian to Estonian as we headed further south. The difference between Narva and Tartu is quite great and was particularly evident when travelling directly from one city to the other. The ethnic makeup of Tartu is about 85% Estonian and 15% Russian/other. It was nice to be back at my digs on the Raekoja plats. I cooked some sausages and veg for dinner.
