How we didn't go to Zurich. But ate lunch while trespassing.








Trying to avoid the suddenly oh-so-popular hiking trails like for example Viru bog, we decided to go to Rakvere. Scott had never been there and additionally there are some other nice places to see on the North coast.

Being the ever prepared tourists, we had chosen the place to get our lunch takeaway and with those essential preparations made we drove straight to Rakvere today morning. We walked some on the totally abandoned main street, visited the castle and Tarvas, the bull. Having walked plenty we called Sarvik, where we wanted to get lunch from. The girl answering the number on the home page informed us that there is no Sarvik on this number... Oh, well. We called Berlin Trahter and placed the lunch order there. Arrived, stepped in and were greeted by a waitress, who was coughing her lungs out. We could only hope that the cook was still healthy, paid the other waitress, whose hands were free, not covering the coughing mouth, grabbed our bag and ran to the car. Already before starting the car, we had finished the cheese balls.

We had planned to eat lunch on the picturesque north coast, right next to Toolse castle. Right before the castle there was a smaller road going into forest and we figured that it would take us to an especially empty beach. We were driving until it became clear that the forest road will turn into a narrow footpath sooner rather than later, stopped the car and finished also the rest of our food. Sitting on the front seat, food boxes on the laps, it wasn't nearly as glamorous as we had imagined, but still delicious. To get from the nature back to the civilization, we had to back out for the bigger part of the road. In the first wider part, where we could turn the car around, we also saw the sign on the ground that strongly recommended not to proceed on that road with the car. I guess, those signs would have more use, being standing and readable.

We did visit also Toolse castle and from there went to a nearby beach to have a little afternoon nap. We had planned to see some nice manors on Lahemaa, but after two weeks of staying home, the day felt tiring already and we just drove home.
