Well, Hiiumaa island where you see trees and water beside some water and trees!. The city, as you call it a city, is somewhat sleepily, real Estonian countryside.
The airport shuttle leaves the bus-stop in town 35 minutes prior to scheduled departure from the "Kärdla lennujaam". Fairly enough so it looks like. And ready for the "Tallinna lennujaam".
Here are the pictures:






































































































A calm ride it was above the green Estonian countryside, more, please!.
