Motorhomes occupy parking spaces
On Friday, it was difficult to find a parking space on Kool Street in small Obinitsa, as they were occupied by the motorhomes of gathering participants.
Liisi Laanemäe, a board member of Estonian Caravan, named comfort and independence as the key advantages of travelling by motorhome. According to her, travellers are not dependent on schedules, time or reservations and can set off whenever they wish.
