Tartu Hostels - Reviews and Rates

We took the scenic route to Tartu and ended up at a clean and virtually empty hostel next to the railway station. We were too tired to go and look round Tartu, so we just showered and went to bed.

The only other important event to note was that Nick, once again, found the last of the Polish sausage to eat. Let's hope it really is gone thi...
