Best Eastern City Hotel Portus Tallinn

... Braucht man denn immer fuer alles nen Grund? Jedes Land ist doch genauso grauverhangen. Ich weiss nicht, wass dahinter liegt. Mag sein, dass da die Sonne scheint, vielleicht aber auch nicht.
Also, ich sag ja selbst immer es ist gut wenn man weiss was man NICHT will, wenn man schon nicht weiss was man will, und nach Estland will ich nicht!
In diesem Sinne hoffe ich, dass mein Wecker morgen puenktlich klingelt, weil das mein ...

... for lunch which was somewhat contaminated with with a ring of pineapple!?!? What was that all about?!?

Estonian (& Estonians) so far, look more Russian than Nordic (I was expecting a big Finnish influence, giving the similarity in language) however I picked up a book in the hostel that covers the era of Soviet and Nazi occupations (of Estonia) and I can see now why it looks the way it does. I'm finding it ...

... Ah, paparazzi" he shouted and went on his way. I was happy, I had found him even though he called me a paparazzi!!

Okay, kidding aside, Tom is a "celebrity of sorts" around Tallinn and can be found on the weather vain atop the City Hall building in the main square. He was a real person from the medieval days of Tallinn and has now become a symbol of sorts of the city.

... day a bit, despite attempts to track time to be able to clock-off. Luckily hunger came to the rescue on that head, but it was weird walking back to the hotel still wearing sunglasses at 10pm. And the only time it rained was on the morning of our flight back to the UK Find out more about our "Footloose" films from our website www.grindelwald.co.uk Take a look at our feature page: FOOTLOOSE IN TALLINN or even buy a DVD from Amazon.co.uk!

... it turned out, Lai 1 was the seat of the Estonian State Puppet Theatre, or Nukuteater, and the gentleman with the receding hair and glasses Ferdinand Veike, was its founder. As the rain was still weak enough, I was not sure yet if I should take it seriously. Sometimes it seemed as if it was getting stronger and turning into a real rain. So for a minute or two I would take a shelter under some eaves. And then it would almost dry up. So the optimist in me decided to simply face it down ...

... passengers helped us. We took a tram out to Kadriorg palace - named Kadriorg for Catherine, the wife of Peter the Great - who built a summer palace in Tallinn. These days the palace is primarily an art museum, although it was used as a temporary residence for the Swedish king's visit in 1930 and as a residence for the Estonian president in the 1930s. When the intelligentsia objected to the art museum being closed for a royal, the Estonian government response was "we can't ...

Even the weather was Medieval! Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day! Ugh, and we LOST an hour over night! [SIGH] It is cloudy as we sail in. [SIGH] It is cool as we sail in. A big disappointment after yesterdays beautiful day at sea. [SIGH] It starts to drizzle as we disembark. It begins to pour as we make our way over to the tourist information offices to buy our DAY PASS card for Tallinn. Lovely! [SIGH] And Michael is ...

Hello everyone, we have been in Estonia for 4 days and i though it would be good to update you on what has been happening on my adventure with my mother as we 'flash pack' around Europe for a month. After the 5 hour bus trip from Riga to Tallinn in which we flow past the old boarder posts of pre EU Europe, we got into the bus station and quickly got into a taxi - something unimaginable to me if i was traveling by myself ...

... in most countries, people go out for a beer, but here they go out for a milk! Perhaps that's why Estonians are so tall? Lunch was a great deal at 10 euros for the both of us, and we couldn't even finish it all. It was a day of happy pancakes for me, and happy panties for Mary! Off to the photo museum - nowadays, I tend to find photo exhibits better than art museums. But today I didn't find that to be the case. It was ...

... there were 300,000 Estonians (with a total country population of around a million, it was like 1 in every three was there) who joined together on this large hill and pulled out their Estonian flags and sang Estonian songs for the first time in over 50 years. Then soon after they joined hands to make a chain the went across Estonia to show the German's they were coming together as true Estonians. Then in 1991 the were ...
