    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh :) There is so much more in Viljandi. You made a very small circle in there! aaaaahhh!!! :)
    But nevertheless, greetings to you from Viljandi!
    Definitely come back!

      Hi Alo, yeah it looked a really nice area with lots of nature reserves too. But unfortunately this was coming to the end of our 10,000km road trip and we were running low on time. We are really happy that we got to see what we did but yeah we need to come back again in the future. Always good to leave somewhere wanting to see more =)
      Thanks for watching!

    One of the best things about moterbike riding is that you have the freedom to just decide to go back to check out something that caight your eye as you were driving past. Estonia is a great place for touring on a bike. The SE part Setomaa is well worth a visit. There are even Estonian roads that cross into Russia for a few hundred metres. You guys are very lucky that you are both into this great bike riding habit!

    • @SeanandEmily
      @SeanandEmily  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Alex, yeah you’re totally right there. The freedom to explore whatever you see and on your own timeframe is second to none.
      We really liked Estonia and would love to return to see a bit more of the country. Yeah we both love this type of travel so we make a great team.
      Thanks for watching 😎👍🏻

    Estonia looks like a very civilised place. You can tell a lot about a country by the condition of it roads and lack of litter. Great video. Thank you 🙂✌🏻

    • @SeanandEmily
      @SeanandEmily  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Estonia really was a lovely place. Yeah you are totally right! When you don't see any litter between the towns you know people have a lot of respect for their own country, we've been in countries where we saw people literally throwing everything out of their cars as they drive.

    Beautiful upbeat video-reporting from Estonia and Latvia! Was hoping to see an international kiss uniting EE and LV, but of course a bit impractical with handsome helmets on. Cheers, Valmiera brewery does produce some of LV's best beers, including a smoked ale. The countryside around Cesis and NW LV is lovely with woods, hillocks and winding streams. Next time if You have the opportunity, please visit Tartu, the cultural capital of EE - it's like the Oxford of the Baltics.

      Hi, thanks so much for your comment and we are really glad you liked how we showcased beautiful Estonia and Latvia.
      Yeah the bear was great -so refreshing after a big day on the road. We loved the countryside of Estonia and Latvia -it looks a lovely peaceful place to live and those farms and houses were beautiful.
      We will be back sometime for sure as there was lots we didn’t have time to see, so thanks for the advice to visit Tartu 😊
      Thanks again for watching and we hope you like the channel.

    Your trip is truly a trip down memory lane for me. From Norway through Finland and then Estonia and Latvia. So many places I have been, too, with people who have been or still are oh so important to me. And in this video: Cesis

It's great to hear that this is a trip down memory lane it's always nice to relive a past trip and it's amazing how certain places can leave a lasting impact on our lives. Sounds like you have a story to tell about Cesis, this was a Gem of Latvia and must have been a wonderful stay.

    Lovely video, I really like how you broke up the straight tree lined roads (Avenues?) with lots of drone work, it worked well and kept it interesting, the 'follow me' mode is particularly good. Oh those huge puddles, I was really laughing as you had loads of room to go around yet rode right through it! it's a good job it wasn't 3 feet deep!!! 🤣Awesome!

      Yeah the follow me mode works well but still has its limitations (can’t send it up to higher altitudes) so Emily actually pilots it manually from the pillion seat 🤩.
      Haha yeah I think I got told off for a couple of those unnecessary’ splashing 😂. Haha yeah that would be funny and could probably send the channel viral 😁-almost worth digging the hole ourselves lol.
      Thanks again

      It’s hard to see but maybe on the big screen at 4K it might be visible. It was next to the road just a bit ahead but flew off into the trees -it was pretty big though and dark brown coloured i I remember rightly.

    Nice video again! You went to Viljandi and Cēsis where I haven't been yet even I have been driving around the Baltics. Last summer I did that same play in Valga/Valka so that I was jumping forth and back between Estonia and Latvia :D
    I think you noticed that there are really lot of long straight gravel roads on the Baltic states. I have been wondering if they are from the Soviet occupation era and some bureaucrat in Moscow has just drawn lines on maps and given orders to build roads. If anybody from the Baltic states reads my comment and knows that, please confirm if my guess is right.
