    A quick photostory: Germany to Estonia April 2011

    In preparation for my summer Trans-Russia trip I rode the bike (clapped out nasty looking '87 Transalp) from my folk's house in western Germany to Tallinn in Estonia, riding through Poland, Lithuania and Latvia to Estonia. The sun shone most of the way.


    Guess the landmark?


    The Wall, East Side Gallery, Berlin


    Tree lined lane, NW of Pniewy, Poland


    Jean a French HUBBer, near Poznan, Poland and his 35k km Enfield Bullet "Buddha Buddha" (and Karma the Polish mountain dog)


    The sidecar that'll get bolted onto Buddha Buddha


    New Triumph dealership?!, Vilnius, Lithuania


    Monument to Frank Zappa, Vilnius, Lithuania


    Trakai Castle, Lithuania


    2 dodgy Flyboy Geezers, 10 Litas note, Lithuanian currency


    Views en route


    Latvia/Estonia border and snow



    Menu in Usbeck restaurant, Tallinn, Estonia



    Memorial to the late, great Joey Dunlop, King of the Mountain N 59.27.612, E 24.50.227 I went there with the super helpful Nick in his 750 Ural Outfit.

    Hope you liked these pictures.
    Chris
