Ruins of the Viljandi Order Castle, Estonia
The stone castle started to appear on the place of the former Estonian stronghold in 1224. The fortress got its final shape and size in the beginning of the 16th century and was one of the distinguished fortresses in Estonia and Latvia. Due to wars between Sweden, Poland and Russia all that is left from the entire order castle today are just a few stone walls.
Already in the beginning of the last century the ruins of the fortress and the park around it turned into a recreational area for the residents of Viljandi. In order to access the castle hills from town a rope bridge was build from the Kaeuvumägi hill over the 13 meters deep trench in 1931. From the ruins you have the most beautiful view over the lake of Viljandi.

Viljandi, Estonia 2017 / Вильянди, Эстония 2017
Viljandi - it is a Hanseatic town and a city with ruins of a castle, a city with strawberries strewn on the streets, a city where there is a theater and a cinema. Viljandi is a beautiful city: a huge lake, lots of greenery, a majestic castle hill, an old water tower and a suspension bridge. There are, of course, pearls of wooden architecture.

August Maramaa and his dog NEFF, Viljandi Estonia
21.7.2017 August Maramaa and his dog NEFF, Viljandi Estonia
August Maramaa (1881–1941) was an Estonian politician and the legendary mayor of Viljandi. The bronze statue of Maramaa with his dog NEFF near the Viljandi town Hall was opened in 2007. During the reign of august Maramaa (1919-1939) Viljandi grew and developed extremely fast. Many parks, new streets and new city districts were founded. A stadium, a hotel, the new town hall, four schools, a hospital, a beach pavilion and a suspension bridge in the castle hills were built during his time in Viljandi. August Maramaa was arrested by the Soviet authorities in 1941 and he died in the same year in a Russian prison camp.
Sculptor Aili Vahtrapuu sculpted the statue.

Entry from: Riga, Latvia
Entry Title: Viljandi to Riga
Entry:
Well it's late & we've only just arrived back in our rooms & I'm tired & it's very tempting to leave this until tomorrow. Especially as I just started and wrote for nearly 30 mins & then my PDA crashed & I hadn't yet done a save ... And lost it all ... I don't feel like trying to repeat all that again. I'll skim the first bit. We were up early & packed & ready to depart after our 8 am breakfast. It was 6 degrees when we set out - quite chilly! By noon it had reached 12. However, we're getting used to those temperatures & actually prefer them to the European tendency to heat rooms etc to 21C. We were staying in Viljandi, and there is a 13th century castle ruin there that sounded like it would be worth investigating. We got a bit lost & tangled up in the cobbled narrow 1-way streets - not for the last time today - but eventually found ourselves outside yet another 700 year old St John's Church, and in sight of the castle ruins. A large number of school kids were doing calisthenics nearby with their teachers. Later we saw them running races around some of the old streets. St John's wasn't open inside yet, but was pretty nevertheless. After that we made our way towards the castle. Originally there had been a 13th century convent here, which was taken over by the Knights of the Sword. All brick & 3 levels of defence & moats etc - most impressive, even in ruins. Deep pits between different levels had bridges between, and the whole complex overlooked Lake Viljandi (looked more like a river to me). While we were walking around there a few times the sun came out briefly - and the difference in the the light when there is sun light! Oh I keep meaning to tell you about the Estonian currency - the Estonian Kroon. Now the Estonians call their country Eesti, so the Estonian Kroon is abbreviated to eek. 9 eeks to an Australian dollar (eeks amuses me every time). They come in notes right down to 2 eeks. When we were on the ferry crossing from Finland, David cashed 20 Euro into Eeks (so we'd have money for a taxi). He took 1 20 Euro note and came back with a handfull of notes - 296! He gave me about half & I'd have felt wealthy except I knew how little he'd cashed to get them. Eeks subdivide into cents. In Latvia, by contrast, their currency is Lats, and there is 2.5 Australian dollars to the Lat. Petrol is more expensive than in Estonia too. Anyway back to Viljandi. The castle, as I say, was pretty & romantic. Part was set up to be an open-air theatre - that must be lovely. There has also always been a public swing apparently. Big enough for several people at a time. One of the bridges over the moats was a suspension bridge, but that didn't worry me as it was not moving too much. After the castle, we got back into the car & drove to fill up with petrol & also to return a screwdriver to Rene at Car Fix. Then we drove on to Latvia. We crossed at Valga (Estonia) into Valka (Latvia) - the town was divided in 2. There was nobody in the border crossing buildings, but as soon as we'd driven through, we were pulled up by 3 police women. One came up to our car & said something to me. English? I asked. Passport Control. We produced our passports (mine was in the carry bag down the front of my jumper - I had to reach down to pull it out & then was most embarrassed that my passport sort of had a bend in it & was also warm). First stop in Latvia was at a bank (of course) to change our remaining eeks to Lats & also get out some more Latvian currency. Next place we drove was Cesis. (There's a flat line accent on top of the e, but I don't have it on my PDA.) Cesis is famous for beer - apparently. However we went there to see the ruins of the castle, founded in 1209 by the Knights of the Sword. When we bought our tickets to enter the castle complex, we were given 2 tickets, a map - and 2 lanterns ...

Estonian Folk Song LÜÜ-TÜRR (Traditional Men's group)
LÜÜ-TÜRR is an archaic men’s singing group which came together in 2012 in Aruküla – a small borough in Harju County.
The group performs Estonian regilaul – traditional ancient Estonian folksongs. The songs are from North Estonia, South Estonia and West Estonia, but also contemporary folksongs and bawdy songs from all over Estonia.
The name of the group is derived after a bird called öösorr. Lüü-Türr is one of several ethnic names of this bird.
It is the joy of singing that forces the men to come out of their homes and sing together. It’s a powerful feeling to sing old songs. And it’s also great to share the joy with others.

TRANSLATION OF THE SONG:
Cozy Saturday arrived, I waited for the blessed evening
Evening arrived, a thought arose - I need to go wandering
We chatted leaning against the barn, what of the bygone week
Whistling, we fooled around, friend laughed, joked around
I put a pack of smokes in my [inside] pocket, took a violin from the stand
And then I walked across the yard along the village street
Then I stepped over the fence, the fence's rail it cracked
in the yard Kolla started barking terribly at that
A pretty girl came out [to the yard], oh I was so happy
I took the violin out and I played beautifully
Cozy Saturday arrived, I waited for the blessed evening
