visiting Johan Liiv house museum and Alatskivi castle

Today we went on a trip to visit this museum of a famous Estonian writer - Johan Liiv

 an old well

this was the sign for the exhibition house/museum

This place had very nice countryside...but the most interesting part of the trip was definately the castle:

 and I look forward to visiting it again...maybe buy some souveniers :)

 the Alatskivi castle

 entrance

 and there's a park outdoors

 the lighting was quite bad, but I managed to take a few snapshots of the interior :)

 the royal stairs - you actually feel kinda royal while stepping on them :)

 an old clock

 view from the back balcony - an aimshot garden :D 

 a marmor caffee table

 a field in front of the castle

 me in front of a mirror

 the music room

 and a contrabass

 the servant's outfit, I guess :)

 me on the stairs, but with bad lighting

 the view of the entire castle

 some rock XD

 rear side of the castle

 balcony - right

 balcony - left

All in all, the place was astonishing...such grandeur :)

After the castle we planned to go to the lake Peipsi - the biggest lake in Estonia, but the bushes kept us from seing it -.-

Well, never mind...I will visit it, sooner or later :)
