Arriving in the Narva, in the northeast corner of Estonia, I parked on Peetri Plats or Peter's Square, named after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_the_Great" rel="nofollow">Peter the Great</a> who conquered Narva from Sweden following the Great Northern War. Until then, Narva had been a Swedish stronghold and a thorn in the eye of the Russians, who built their own strong fortress just across the river to check the Swedes.
