The Road To Paldiski Lighthouse 🇪🇪 

It’s open today! About fucking time!

Love the fact that you've made yourself hostage to fortune by calling it the 'Daily Bald'. You see - you HAVE to give us our baldy fix every single day now, Benny Boy! Bet you wish you'd called it the 'The Occasional Bald' or 'The When I Bloody Feel Like It Bald'!

Arthur's Mum here - I enjoyed my guest appearance very much ;) So cool you got to experience Estonia in these Arctic conditions which are pretty exotic even to us, and good luck onwards with all your travels!

The guy drinking beer said that bread helps to mop up the alcohol ☺️

"The Daily Bald" is the best channel on RU-vid since "Bald & Bankrupt". All Bald, all the time!

Now that place should be called "BALDiski"

My mum once caught me with 'Babushka secrets' under my bed🤭

“It’s just... If you get some bread, it’s a different deal, but this... after this *makes a gesture* you fly” - The guy at 4:24

Babushka secrets - now I know how Mi6 sends encrypted messages to Benjamin)) very smart

7:07 that "couple of Naval insignias" are actually Order of The Red Banner, which was awarded twice to the Soviet Baltic Fleet

Old man: my wife slipped over on the ice and died Bald: laughs hysterically

Poldiski: “At least we’re not Tondi.”

Near the lighthouse, he was a few hundred metres from the stairs down from the cliff, and down there should be damn amazing ice cascades. In Soviet time, Paldiski hosted around 30 000 marines, the "civil" population (mostly the navy officers and their families) being around 8000. Most of the ruins of the barracks have been demolished, right after the Soviets left some area was like a field of ruins there. And, the so-called "Pentagon of Paldiski" was the largest building in Estonia (even bigger than the structure where Bald hurt himself), it has been demolished as well. The railway station building in Paldiski is from 1871, being one of 2 oldest surviving railway stations in Estonia.

Babushka's secrets hidden on the top shelf there.

They are currently filming a Soviet movie in Glasgow, they think parts of Glasgow look like 1980s USSR lol

I love you bald!!! Have literally watched every single video for a year or so and can’t stop. You’re truly an inspiration. Never stop! Much love.

3:23 is there anyone else here besides me who would be less enthused to find out that you have to walk 3 km in the snow? Meanwhile Ben is just thinking to himself, "well, at least it's not a radioactive swamp."

Estonia is so beautiful! Thanks for been here mate. Love from Estonia! 🇪🇪

Plot twist : the guy with the beer was on his way back from the light house drinking his sorrows that it was closed

11 minute Daily Bald video? Haven’t even watched it and already know it’s amazing.

Forget Victoria's secret, babushkas secret is where it's at

Paldiski is somehow connected to Tondi - it will tell you it's secrets somewhen..

I actually saw Lilya 4-ever in the theater when it was released. To say it is grim is an understatement.

Lilya 4-Ever is a brutal masterpiece, watched it over a decade ago and it will forever be burnt into my soul.

I can't wait if Bald will go to Lithuania to see how many abandoned buildings he cab find

On the bright side, you got a chance to get hold of the highly sought-after brand new copy of Babushkas Secrets.

Blessings brother. You are a good man and I love your videos.

As a Wisconsinite I don't quite understand "too cold for a beer"

Bald : “Check it out!” Me looking at things i never even cared about : 🤩

Awesome ! I live there not far from the lighthouse , sadly I didn't know you were coming . Keep up the good work !!!

Hahah love the ending XD Good effort mate. I've loved discovering old stuff just within cycling distance of my home in Tallinn as a kid. something amazing about riding 15 minutes into a direction and coming across houses that are 50-60 years old with soviet posters on the walls or climbing a water purification tower and looking down at the gushing currents or going into old bunkers. Shame these things are getting shut down now. But then again it is a bit of an eyesore sometimes ...

Bald really does do a good job to entertain. I’m currently struggling with home learning but he really succeeds to make my day better! Love from scotland

Did you know? Between Kundruse and Lutepää in Estonia you can cross the russian borderline two times legally and drive on russian territory for approximately 1 kilometer without any bordercontrols.

This is my old home town. I wouldn't recommend walking around there at night, lots of trouble around there but it was really nice seeing you go through Paldiski. It's much more worth visiting in summer.

"Some military boat" on 7:00 is the "Aurora" the most famous cruiser in the Soviet naval history.

Bald: *does thorough research into the Soviet and non-Soviet history of every destination* Also Bald: *reads the name of the village off the palm of his hand*

This man is a legend.

Paldiski never witnessed a visitor with such immense level of excitement as Bald.

Lilya 4ever is one of my all time favourite films

Ben after seeing the sign: My disappoinment is unmeasurable, and my day is ruined.

The guy drinking beer was the lighthouse watcher that closed the lighthouse and went to get the last beer from the pub. His day was great. surely!

I love that this channel exists. Having daily Bald videos is incredible!

I always dread when I see him entering abandoned buildings, and this one had floors with holes. Yikes! You wouldn’t get me in there! I do appreciate your adventures Daily Bald. I was in Estonia a few years ago, but only saw Tallinn. Love to see these other towns!

I was about to sleep and then bald uploads a video. Best feeling ever 😂😂

I could not believe you didn't jump the fence, wouldn't have been your first tress passing event. Good video, and God bless.

There's nothing sadder than an adventurous bald man staring dejectedly at the Baltic Sea on a grey, dreary day.

1:54 "Look at all the secrets" lol

What a great morning, enjoying the ganja in -15 degrees and watching dailybald, couldn't be much better

Mr. Bald, you are, and forever. will be my favourite RU-vidr. I could watch your content for hours. Keep making ol Blighty proud mate. 🇬🇧

your editing is out-of-this-world!

Camp at the lighthouse until april with some beer and make friends along the way, true winter adventure

I love the architecture, you can see the Scandinavian influence, its a beautiful country

One interesting city is maybye Valga/Valka is half Estonia/Latvia!

Didn't know about this 2nd channel ... Glad I found it

The ending is so sad :(

5:20 Life of everyone in the UK right now 😂

You are like a walking history lesson. Love it.

Mate , you need a proper Soviet hat " Ушанка" 😃 . Love your videos! Great job!

Walked all that way, and everything in paldisky was closed 😂

Oh man thats really cool you got to see the setting for Lilya 4 Ever. That film absolutely broke my heart, loved it. Cant wait for more daily Bald!

Great video!! It was a nice relief 😅 to watch your video after work. Finally something with traveling and a laugh 😂. Travel 🧭 safe and thanks 🙏🏼 from Switzerland 🇨🇭.

I laughed out loud at your crestfallen reaction to the pub being closed. Love your videos mate.

Love your videos brother. Stay safe

Torrenting "Lilya 4-Ever" as we speak, thanks for the suggestion!

the letter J in Estonian is pronounced like "y" sound so Jaam what sound like Yaam

You are in the very part of the world that I love! Was stationed in Hungary 🇭🇺, Serbia 🇷🇸, Croatia 🇭🇷 in 1995-1996. Fantastic people of the former USSR. I really enjoyed them! -j

The guy with a beer in Paldiski was just curing his hangover with some strong ale :D

The disappointment on his face when he sees the lighthouse closed till 3 Apr made me sad 😭

Wow, I just finished watching Lilja 4-Ever, tuff movie to watch at times, but very well acted, especially the acting done with Lilja and Volodja. I have been watching your videos for a long time and I would wonder at times when your in those forgotten towns just how do the young people deal with living in those towns, I'm sure some of what goes on in the movie does happen at times, so sad to think that it does, and actually most of the people you do seem to run across are elderly. Thank you for doing your videos, because of them it made me feel like I really understood there situation a lot better while watching the film. If you have any other recommendation for good flicks like that please post if you don't mind.

KNEW you was going to drop that Bob Marley pun when you said that! Aha legend.

"That was Arthur's Mum!" xD

at 6:20 the blockhouse with angled roof in the background is the Paldiski school. Remember having a summer camp for one week there back in the school days in the summer of 1997 :) Good memories from Paldiski!

Love your videos brother. Great work. Good evening from Mcr

We love these videos. Me and 5 my year old son watch your other channel it's like a tour. We always end up using Google maps and trying to see where we can do street view or google the places. You seem to repeat the names of the places a lot and he will repeat them. I work from home now and I was on the phone with our company IT tech support in India and while I was waiting I told my son and he asked if the person on the other end was near the Goa beach with the Russians. So he remembers!

Daily's are cool. I like the longer format better there Baldo

Oh man. I really felt that one Bald.

I am surprised you have not been approached by a tv channel for your content. Much better than most of the rubbish on TV Love it

I laughed out loud when you found out the lighthouse will open on April 3rd 😆 Sorry...

Lilja 4-ever is a great movie but boy is it emotional! Really hard hitting, as you put it.

8:43 footprints already into the building and after reading that message carved into the wall before, I would not want to go in there but Bald doesnt care 😂

Don't tell me, your wearing your Converses. I'm loving "Daily Bald" and am glad you mentioned it on one of your recent videos. Cheers Benjamin!

oh I wish I wouldve met you, after you said "You can visit Paldiski" in your video of the trip to east, I was hoping youd actually come and you diid, this is sooo dope bro. Hope you revisit!

Wait he has another channel???? Bald everyday yessss

Hey dude you'r in Estonia!! Thats awsome! I live in Tallinn. I'v been watching your videos allready many years! Sad that i didnt meet you in here :/ but keep up good work!

Dont think i've missed 1 video on either channel. This man is a Soviet Legend!!

good vid man ,kohtla'järve is to intresting town with industrial mountains;)

how did i not know you had a second channel omg omg binge time

There are abandoned soviet bunkers in Tallinn, Laagri. They are bars infront of the entrances, but there's a chance that they have been opened up by people. You should check those out.

I'm really enjoying the Daily Bald. More unpredictable, less structured but more authentic. We've all had travel plans not going according to plan.

7:44 I think you found the serial killer of Paldiski!

You need to call ahead!

That's just amazing how casually he walked in this abandoned building through the hole. He obviously got used to visit such places.

I'm just curious and a little confused, when people see you coming to they close up shop on purpose ?????

Lukas Moodysson has a knack for making films that cut deep, be it in a good way (Show Me Love) or bad way (Lilya 4-Ever). (Also, Oksana Akinshina was so adorable in the parts of Lilya 4-Ever that were NOT horrible.)

Nice one Mr Bald!

"Daily balders" cracks me up

The Tondi Trilogy

What! Since when did this channel exist!!

You still in Estonia. That's good. I have an experience that those visits can take longer than what you thought at first. Anyways, glad you liked good old Estonia even though the lighthouse gave a disappointment.

" hope you like Jammin' too" I see what you did there mister. And I like it!
