On the road

Posting a tablet to Estonia turned out to be a lot harder than i expected it to be. It took me three days to get it done.

Friday i decided to give my drum away to the guy who teached me little bit how to play.  On the next day he decided that he will give me a shirt and a scarf as gift back to me.

Saturday i went to launderette again to wash my clothes. But this time the owner was there. When i finished washing clothes he said that if i want i can change my clothes there.

I think that this one of the unusual places, where i have change clothes.

In the day time i still usually was begging when it wasn't raining (but it rained a lot).

And like before there was still graduating partyes. But the one i took part of on saturday night was awesome.
Ten bars and ten shots and later to piazza cavalieri.
Unfortunately i only have one photo.

Also on that night i got a little crowd following me and shouting my name.

Sunday i dint do much of anything in the day time. But in the evening i went to piazza dei cavalieri to say goodbye with everybody and to have some last drinks.


Monday morning only thing i had to do was to charge the battery full and then get going.
But sometimes the last night, might not always be the last.

So as i was getting ready to leave this guy came to me and we started changing stories.
He told me his crazy rich (rich like they own a plane) friends stories and i told him my travel stories. And we were both astonished by each other stories.


Later more people came to me and started talking to me and at one moment it got late already. Then i decided to start tuesday morning with a fresh start.
And i did got a fresh start, just not the kinda fresh like i wanted.


It rained until 4pm and i got really wet.
In one cigarette break i found small angry animal next to me.


Some photos from tuesday road.







 Also i decided to walk without a tent from now on. And on the first evening i was already tested by the nature. At 10 pm the thunderstorm came back. But i found an almost dry place to sleep.


Almost dry because the door on the phone boot was missing.

Yesterday i continued to walk near the sea line but i didn't got exactly to see the sea a lot because for 30 km it was full of beach resorts. 

Photos from yesterdays road.









In the evening older couple offered me coffer, 2 classes of wine, cigarettes and 10 € in one bar. 

After that i continued walking until ine moment the mountain road got a bit too dangerous to walk because there was a lot of cars and a lot of blind spots.


So i slept next to the road again.


From todays road i have so far two photos.



Now the next one and a half days i will be mostly walking in the mountain roads.

So far 1473 km.

My life is a paradise!

A lot has happened in these last two weeks again. I have given myself more free time from begging and started to enjoy the Pisa life.
And by that i mostly mean piazza cavalieri and the big amount of university students.


There is every night gatherings and and very nice people. And the last month has been a graduating time which is probably one of the best times to stay in Pisa because many graduation party's are held there. And that means a shopping cart full of free alcohol.

That's how the square looks like on Friday night 2am.


And 6am


There i also met the biggest (non estonian) estonia fan who i have ever seen. And it doesn't come as surprise that he is IT student.
He also hosted me for two nights on his couch.



In fact there i make so many friends every night.

 One of the big things that has happened is that two estonian girls visited me here in Pisa. And we got together two times and had some wine and just chatted. And i have to say that speaking estonian is getting harder for me already.
They also brought some good Candy's from estonia.

Now some sightseeing.



This is also one awesome group with who i spent a day together.

With them i had a very good multi course dinner and later they played music.
They also improved my hiking equipment.


There i also put estonia on the map.


Now almost every night i sleep in a different place but these are some of them.







Also i still have to mention my favorite and pretty much the only bar where i go.
The girls still give a lot of discounted or free drinks and food. 
And i also have good time with them and even with their friends.








And this guy is my very good friend who i also met in that bar. We meet very often there and have some drinks.


I also have a bar where i can get every night this much free food if i ask.


One night i got a Djembe.

This guy has been teaching me to play for several nights for three hours per night.


 But it is quite heavy and puts my bag off balanced which is not good for long walks. So i have to think something about that as well.


Now i have started for getting ready to leave because Ive stayed here long enough and also most of the students have gone to their home cities.

So i bought new shoes because the old ones were too broken already.



Now the only thing to do is to post the broken tablet to estonia and then im ready to leave soon. But right now its for three days rain and thunderstorms.

So far 1401 km.

Sometimes shit happens

There has been few connection problems in these last few weeks. But now this problem is solved and I'm back online.
My tablet stopped working and i lost a lot of photos so in this post i keep it short and use photos i found on facebook.

I stayed in Livorno from 16th june until 20th june. There i looked around and in day time tryed few times begging but that didn't work out that well.
There i also met many young people and i even brought some strangers together because in the evenings a lot of people gathered around me to get to know what im doing.

This is one group of people who i met.


If the weather is good i will go back to Livorno for a birthday party tomorrow and then i can make some new photos from Livorno as well.

Friday evening i arrived in Pisa and i liked this city from the moment i got here.


But unfortunately the first week or so Pisa was a bit tough on me.

In the second night my sleeping bag and tent got stolen.
On the third morning i had over 39 ℃ fever, cough and sour throat.
But in the evening two brothers came to me and asked if i need an accommodation.

So this nice family hosted me for two days until i was healed.


After that my tablet stopped working completely.

I also went out with the guys who i met in Grosseto and they offered me an accommodation as well.


On the same evening one guy made me a present after he heard that my sleeping mat got stolen.


We also had a nice carbonara lunch together.


Soon after that i got a high fever again but this time i was alone with this. And i have to say that its really not good to just sit in one park for two days trying to heal. 

But by 30 june i was okey again but still with some problems like tablet.

So for the whole week everyday and sometimes even night time i was begging.
I got so much sun doing that (everyday between 12-15 i was exposed to the sun) that on the third day my face skin started to peal off and had a pretty big sun stroke for few days. But this time i didnt let this to bother me and did what i would have done in normal day. All though these hallucination's were quite fun sometimes.

But i got a suncream and it was then cloudy for few days so that got okey as well. 

But in the last week i was still having a lot of fun and ive been meeting so many different people here in pisa. 
I know a lot of people here but even more people know me. 

So yesterday i got myself a phone and now i will continue blogging and probably make even more photos because with a phone its a lot easier.

So far 1401 km.
