August 1998 - On our way from Finland via Baltic countries to Hungary.
Baltic countries | Poland | Slovakia
First we took an Eckerö Line ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn. We decided not to hurry and visit places of interest on the way. From Tallinn we headed to Haapsalu and further to Pärnu where we stayed overnight. Next day we visited Riga, Jurmala and Klaipeda.

We realized that we had spent a little bit too much time in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Hence we decided not to spend that long time in Poland but hurry toward Hungary. Poland is an interesting country, too, but further exploring of it had to wait.
We stayed overnight in a small hotel in a town called Elk
