Tallinn here we come.
A short walk from our Hotel in Helsinki got us to the Tram and then to the wharf. Alarge ferry took us across the great expanse (60km) to Estonia. There was much entertainment to be had on the Ferry, Loads of restaurants, Karaoke, dancing, bingo and Pokies. A shopping area where everyone was buying up lots of Alcohol, apparently it is cheaper to get it on the ferry than in Helsinki.
Arrival and a short walk to the hotel and a bit of time to settle in. My word the colour in the room, well the photo speaks for itself.
A quick tour around the old town section of Tallinn and we were left to our own devices. This really is picturesque, and yes touristy, but only in that there are a lot of souvenir shops. The rest is real; the medieval Wall that surrounds part of the old town is not a prop.
Dinner was at a nice restaurant that was reasonably priced and had a great feel; we were near the open fire. Then back to the hotel to figure out how we cope with the sun setting at around 10pm and rising at 6. Tomorrow, a bike ride around the city to see outside of the old town.
