My last group picture in Estonia...

Hello there!

The last weekend of September was my last talgud. For this one, I would be group leader with Anu. We discussed (via mail and face-to-face) about which meals to prepare. We talked about the transportation and side activities as well.

We arrived at the hotel a little over an hour and a half later, joining the other half of the group. Once everything was settled, I bought the groceries for the talgud on Friday afternoon, and we then drove to Neeruti around half-past five.

We were joined for a while by two ELF volunteers who were passing by for another mission. We ate lunch at a café near the hotel, before going back to work, finishing early. We went hiking on the short Neeruti hiking trail (1.5 km) before enjoying a warm sauna (my last one !). On Sunday, we hiked the long Neeruti trail (3.5 km), and then hiked another one in a marsh.

The work itself started on Saturday morning, where we cut down all the trees and bushes in an area 10 km away, which was essential for the spadefoot toad, who cannot jump and therefore needs a flat space. We then drove home in the afternoon, after dropping a few of us at a train station.

The lakes were gorgeous, with their clear water and the trees surrouding them


The marsh was also gorgeous, with a wild feeling to it
