2 hours in Rakvere: A castle theme park and a big bull statue
Who doesn't love a theme park? Particularly, one set in a castle? Luckily, a castle theme park in Rakvere fills our 2-hour wait between the bus from Kasmu and the bus to Tartu.

Shamrocking it up: A 6 day tour of Ireland. What the craic!
The official definition of craic is enjoyable time spent with other people, especially when the conversation is entertaining and funny. The perfect description for the Shamrocker team, the sister company of the Haggis tours across Scotland. From history to dancing and whiskey to Kilkenny beer, the trip back to my ancestral homeland was a blast.
