We had a three-day-trip to an island called Ruhnu. It's pretty much in the middle of the sea. Our trip to the island was truly a survival course, I thought we were never going to make it. In total it took us FIVE hours to get there, whereas normally it would be three hours. I'm not going to talk about puking, guys... But it was horrible.
The reason why we even went there was because we had an ethnology practice there. One of the days we stayed at the local museum and studied about their clothing. It was pretty interesting, since their folk costumes are a little bit different than the usual ones. One of the reasons being that they got their fabrics from trips to mainland. The aprons had really beautiful floral patterns on them and the headpieces were also something one of a kind.
It was the second time I've been to an Estonian island. But never can I remember that it's different than on the mainland. Food stores have expired products, loads of mosquitoes, pretty locations and cool historical places. The beach was my favourite part of Ruhnu, but the trip to the beach was almost unbearable, there are sooo many mosquitoes in the forest that I thought they were going to eat me alive, so instead of walking and dying I decided to fucking run out of that forest. It's been a while since I did some running and I think I found that part of me again.
Luckily the trip back to Pärnu was really calm, no sea sickness involved and the weather was beautiful! It was a great get-away trip really, I have to start using my free time more carefully or I'll just let the summer slip out of my hands.
I've ranted too much now.
CHEEKS!
