Our buses from Aluksne to the border town of Valka worked fine, then we had a three hour wait for the fast bus to Tartu. Crossed the border, such as it was,
to look around the old town on the Estonian side
then stupidly missed the bus!! Quick panic, but found a helpful lady who found us two onward local buses so got here two hours late.
A day of rain drove us to the Estonian National Museum - brilliant, spent the whole day there.
Lots of recent history about how Estonia got to be the way it is with testimony from people who lived through it, descriptions of their lives, just great. Loads of interactive stuff, mock ups of rooms, huts, tents, a truly amazing place.
