White Nights

One thing you might want to consider when coming to Estonia is that in July, we basically have 24 hours of daylight.

We're not above the Arctic Circle, but we're close enough that the sun "sets" for about an hour, around 1 a.m., but doesn't really. We enter into a twilight stage, and then sun rises again about 2 a.m. The birds start singing and chirping, and it can be very disconcerting. Scott's gone through a lot of years in Estonia, and the strangeness of the sun has been something he still hasn't adjusted to.

Even today in May, the sun came up at 5:30 a.m., and it now sets about 9:30.

The hotels have heavy window shades, but a suggestion - buy yourself a sleep mask and earplugs before you come. It might save your sanity.
