The day started quite early, because our aim was to visit many places in Ida-Virumaa.
First we set our directions to Kohtla-Nõmme, to visit a closed limestone mine, which is nowadays used as a museum.
Our tour took us underground where we could see how miners worked and some of us had a chance to use their tools, and we all got to ride on an underground train.
Our next destination was a border town where Europe meets Russia, Narva.
There we had lunch where we wanted to and we visited the garden of Narva fortress, where we could
see the Narva river and Russia.
Our next stop was a forbidden town Sillamäe, which is famous for its architecture. Sillamäe was the town, during the Soviet occupation, where uranium was mined and processed.
Uranium is famous for being the main component in nuclear weapons. The town was closed and forbidden for strangers.
The last place that we visited was a nunnery, which is located in the lovely forests of Kuremäe.
We had a chance to see the nuns living their ordinary life. Everybody seemed to like the trip.
