... end so I imagine it is bitter in winter. Fortunately, we've had nothing but sunshine since we've been here, which has been handy for trying to get the enormous loads of washing dry.

Actually, I say enormous, but I mean numerous. The communal washing machine is the same size as Ediite's and I wonder if all Baltic washing machine's are built on a miniature scale. Further research is needed, I ...

... For the later part of the morning I went to the local market located next to the train station looking for those infamous exotic local berries. Unfortunately the berries are out of season and the tourist info personel told me the best time for berries and mushrooms are during autumn time. It is interesting as I walked around, I saw lots of locals shopping for their daily goods, food, meat very similar to the farmers ...

... won. So I did the only thing that was possible, herring and vodka !!! Dinner was still good though. Day 4 We our usual breakfast before we made our way out to the airport. Our flight was due to leave at 12:00 so we would be home fairly early. Once there, we checked the web and noticed that there had been a snowfall in London and all the airports were closed. We sat and waited, and waited. There was free internet, but trust me, surfing ...

... there, still retaining its charm, eventually becoming a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 1997. From Müürivahe I came to Suur Karja, a beautiful, narrow cobbled street, one of the very few without any cars whatsoever, even in the Old Town. I took a walk between multi-coloured façades and gradually left the Old Town again. It was past eight now and I decided to wrap my first town sightseeing up. I found myself on the Pärnu maantee, a broad street where before the ...

... to really experience the culture and meet people - sometimes out of necessity. And that is definitely a good thing. I have been asked, "Why Estonia?" and my answer is the same as it was when people asked, "Why Kosovo?" a few years back: Because of that exact question. Why be obvious? (That and it was on Tamara's list of approved destinations - places she was okay with not seeing.) My prerequisite for my own long weekend was to visit a country I had ...

... is in the mid twenties, and I believe sunset is around 10:30. Today has been set aside as a recupuration and get over jetlag day, however, I may go out into the old town for the festival tonight. The town looks alot like Skara Brae from the old Bard's Tale games, very nice. Pictures coming in the next day or two, when I can get them off the camera.

... interesting to see all the major trends in art like Cubism, romanticism etc. reflected out here. I was amused by the art done for Russian propaganda (like Stalin at the front - ha!!) but i was very impressed by the tortured Estonian artist Eduard Wiiralt - his etchings were very sexual and corrupting and the film based on two of his masterpieces (Caberet and Hell) was quite disturbing! Walked back to Mai`s (yes, i ...

... 20, 1991. Tallinn has historically consisted of three parts: The Toompea (Domberg) or "Cathedral Hill", which was the seat of the central authority: first the Danish captains, then the komturs of the Teutonic Order, and Swedish and Russian governors. It was until 1877 a separate town (Dom zu Reval), the residence of the aristocracy; it is today the seat of the Estonian government and many embassies and residencies. The Old Town, which is the old Hanseatic town, the "city of ...
