The hotel was hot but at about 5 in the morning there was some heavy rain that cooled things down a bit.

When I start biking really early in the morning the temperature is 24C and the humidity is about 100%.

Sunday morning in Tartu is very, very quiet.

After about 5 km the first rain started. The first 10 km out of town was proper bike lanes, the rest of the day was small roads. The going was a bit slow.

In the town of Elva I find a pizza for lunch, the weather is starting to look a bit bad.

After lunch there are some really bad thunderstorms, I have to seek shelter outside a small shop, the lightning strikes somewhere nearby and the power is cut.

Otepää is known as the "winter capital" of Estonia, so there was a great tourist info with maps and all. It was easy to find great accommodation. There was restaurants with great hamburgers and cheap beer.

ReeDe Villa was great, I got an apartment to myself, small kitchen and big TV.

I decide to look in to Tour de LatEst, maybe life will be easier along this more touristic route.
