it is not impossible, but may require a 5 mile walk. Last chance to change your mind Andy, it doesn't start til 7.30pm, plenty of time to get there.

Hi,
Nice photos!
(at http://www.mattmayer.com/scandinavia2001/diary6.html)
Actually, there are no elk in Sweden. However, there are quite a lot of moose. Yes, the Scandinavians themselves call them elk, but that is because the Swedish word for moose (älg) sounds so much like the English word, "elk".
Newer, updated Swedish-English dictionaries translate älg as moose.
Cheers,

It is actually impossible to get to Chipping Campden without a car. The nearest anything stops is about 10 miles away.

Shin-kicking. Shin-kicking has once again become a regular feature of Robert Dover's Olimpick Games, much to the delight of the spectators. Contestants hold each other by the shoulder and try to kick shins and bring opponents to the ground. A Stickler, the ancient name for our judge, makes sure that shins are hit before a fall can count. Our kickers wear the traditional white smocks associated with shepherds. They are allowed to protect their shins with straw.

your message is disingenuous... 'over 3000 photos from my travels', over 700 of those photos are mine, at least 300 of which were not on your travels. False advertising!

I was tempted by WOMAD even before the Cambridge failure, lots of things to 'discover' and lots that I already know is good...it was £120 including camping, similar to Cambridge. You can pay me back in plane tickets if that is going ahead.

Or maybe just an entirely positive change of scene: we're going to WOMAD. At least it's closer to home for both of us. I didn't have the patience for the Cambridge ticket fiasco.

Riga has a strange lack of soul. There is the old town, all rebuilt, but no good cafes or restaurants. We looked for 2 hrs and ended up in MD's, having a choice between that or a pizza place we'd already been too... :(
TV tower tomorrow. Tallinn on Sunday, should we take our large Russian flag??
