Today is the first bad weather we have had since we arrived in Tallinn on the first day of the trip. It rained for the mid part of the day and was overcast until around sunset. We have not had any other rain except when we first arrived in Tallinn but that cleared by the… Read More Last Day in Gdansk

As usual on this trip, we did a running tour (self guided) of Gdańsk this morning. We started by running over to the canal which is fun as we have to run through parts of Old Town to get tot the canal. We then ran around an island in the canal which has lots of… Read More Exploring Gdansk

This is going to be one of my short posts as we spent 10 hours on a bus traveling from Vilnius to Gdańsk. We saw a lot of rural Lithuania and Poland. Poland definitely has better road infrastructure than the Baltics but the drive still consisted of a lot of time on two lane roads… Read More Vilnius to Gdańsk Poland

Today was more of a relaxed day rather than a tourist day. We got up and ran along the Neris river. Vilnius has created a great park along the river with paths for biking and running. There were many runners out which was a first for our Baltic run experiences. As we were running to… Read More Sunday in Vilnius

We are on the move again. Liam headed out to meet his family for the second part of his trip before Tom and I got up. We got up, headed out of the AirBNB to the bus stop to catch our Lux bus to Vilnius which is about a 5 hour ride from Riga. This… Read More Riga to Vilnius

Today was a fairly chill day in Riga. Liam did his usual morning run but Tom and I skipped the run. I had run 4 days in the last 7 and had done 20 miles. That is the most running I have done in months so thought a rest day was good. We decided to… Read More Last Day in Riga

We got up and did a run along the Daugava River to the large Riga radio tower. All Eastern European cities seen to have these large radio towers. The weather has been fantastic, so the morning runs have been enjoyable. I might even be back in some kind of running shape after this trip as… Read More Full day in Riga

We started the day with a run to another beach in Tallinn. We did a slight trail run to the beach – as you know I can barely run on a sidewalk so it was interesting but pretty. After a good cinnamon bun and breakfast, we went to the Museum of Occupation and Freedom which… Read More Tallinn to Riga and then dinner in Riga

The day started out with a nice run. Liam, Tom and I ran out of Old Town to the Baltic and ran along the water front. Liam wanted to do 10 miles but I was only up for 5 so at 2.5 miles, Tom and I split off and did a little run/walk tour of… Read More Second Day in Tallinn

Tom met Liam and I at the Tallinn airport. We took the Estonian version of Uber into the old city where we have an AirBNB. It is right on the Town Square where the Old Town Hall is located. A great location with only walking, no cars. We had a little glitch with the AirBNB… Read More First Day/Night in Tallinn
