“What Country are we in?”
“Estonia”
“No, what Country are we in?”
“Estonia”
“But what Country are we in”
“Estonia”
“Is that a country?”
Yes that was a conversation that I had with a fellow passenger before our tour started.
Welcome to beautiful Tallinn... well not beautiful yet as the surrounds of the Terminal are not the prettiest. There were 4 ships all in a row ready to invade the small old medieval town of Tallin.
As you walk off the ship you pass through a make shift cruise terminal that is lined with souvenir shops. As we had a little bit of time before our tour was to start we wandered through each stall checking out what would be on offer....
Today was another tour with TJ Travel and most on the tour were the familiar faces from yesterday.
Our small van took us to the upper part of the Old town where our guide walked us through showing us the best sights. We visited St Olaf Church, the Dome Church and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. We wandered in and out of the many souvenir shops that line the cobble streets of the town. Although the place was heaving with people there seem to be a great atmosphere about the place.
After the tour finished Garry and I stayed on and sat for a well deserved drink and retraced some of the streets we had covered. We then decided to take the long walk back to the ship which got us back in time for one last look at all the stalls and then onto the ship... A very nice place to Visit.
