We had a fun start to the day when the Haapsalu Tourist train picked us up from the campsite and took us around the town sights. Then it was a look at the ruined 16^th century castle and its museum and a walk back along the streets lined with timber buildings.

In the evening some of us went on a cycle ride to a nearby ex Soviet air force base.
