March 22, 2009
Estonia
Saaremaa and Tartu
Plans are underway to experience two locations for the Feast in Estonia. Estonia is nestled between Russia, the Baltic Republics and Scandinavia. It is known as part of the land of the Vikings.
We plan to bring brethren together from these areas along with transfers from the United States and other places.
The first half of the Feast will be on the beautiful, historic and strategic island of Saaremaa, which controls one of the sea gates to Russia.
We will spend the first four full days of the Feast at the luxurious Georg Ots Spa Hotel which overlooks the Baltic Sea. Scandinavians love their spas, and this location was very popular with Feastgoers in 2007. Children and adults alike will love it.
Double
room at the spa will be a very reasonable $75 per room per night. This
price includes a buffet breakfast, unlimited access to saunas, pools and
fitness center, use of a personal bathrobe and sandals, Internet
connection in the hotel rooms and all taxes. See their Web site at
http://www.gospa.ee.
On Wednesday October 7 we will travel by bus from the Island through
picturesque countryside to the lovely city of Tartu, Estonia’s second
largest and oldest city in the Baltic States. Tartu is first
mentioned in an ancient Russan [RUSSAN is the correct spelling]
chronicle when it was attacked by the Kievan Prince Jaroslov the Wise in
1030. In the 13th
century Tartu joined the Hanseatic League and the oldest
university was founded here in 1632 by Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden.
We have
reserved rooms at the upscale London Hotel. The rates for accommodation
at the London will be single room $54, double $74, double deluxe
$93-$105 and suites $124. Rates include all taxes, fees and buffet
breakfast. See their Web site at
http://www.londonhotel.ee.
You will not need to rent a car at either location as many restaurants
and sights are within walking distance. Taxis are plentiful, and you can
still get almost anywhere for about $5.
Median coach airfare from the United States to the capital city, Tallinn, is about $1,300 per person. There are two flights daily from Tallinn to the Island of Saaremaa for about $40 one way. Additional information about other charges for bus, excursions and a few group meals will be made available on our Estonia Feast Web site at www.kubik.org/estonia.
