... but with regulars.<br><br>Granted, it still needs some work doing to it. There are some missing floorboards and the walls need plastering. One wall is coated in 1930s newspapers, yellowed with age. I wonder who it was, that stuck up that small bit of insulation 80 years ago. What was going through their mind?<br><br>The infrastructure is a little dodgy in places. An old man tapped on the window ...

... but the locals are speaking mostly Russian not Estonian !!! Even the same goes for store owners. I guess there is still a large population of Russians in Tallinn. This afternoon I took a walking tour of the city at the local bicycle hostel. This is actually low season that beside myself there is just this one other tourist from London going on the tour. The guide took us around the city, briefly described the ...

... when the tower of Babel had been being built. It was nearly nine o'clock. It was true that I was up north and summer days stretched up a lot further here than at the Mediterranean south, but you could do only what you could do. And there was not much left of it any more. So I pootled around some more in the crowd of the Town Hall Square, and then left it in the direction I'd come from. Well, sort of. Actually, instead of Viru, I turned into the Vene street. There was another St. Nicholas ...

... as a travel writer who also writes about football? This way somebody might even pay me to go and watch the games and write about the city, as well. I might even get invited to South Africa 2010 - a dream come true Anyway, I was musing on this as the match kicked off. It wasn't much of a game, actually - it was all a bit too easy and as my mind was on other things, I didn't pay as much attention as should have. Estonia had a good chance in the 15th minute ...

... something from a Far Side comic. I'm sure you all will recognize it by going here. Next week I start a Finnish course at the university, which should be interesting, and it will get me out of bed earlier. It's still raining most days here, and getting colder, down into the upper 40s at night (8 or 9 degrees Celsius). It's raining now, in fact. What are you all up to? I'm thinking of everyone and hoping all is well. Take care.

... and in the mid twenties. There's a lot of tourist here, primarily from Finland. Judging from what i've seen of the harbour, there's probably a dozen if not more cruise ships moored here at any one time. I would love to come back here and spend more time, perhaps next summer. For now, at least, my final thoughts on this city would probably have to be "OMG Every single one of the women here are beautiful"

... it was a tiny hatch, not a window - some world traveller i am not working that out!!) Anyway, the park was in beautiful Autumn colours. I visited Kadriorg Palace (a former Summer residence of the tsars) first and it`s collection of west european and Russian art (loved the Russian seascapes!) i ate in the park`s cafe then headed over to KUMU (the Art Museam of Estonia) to see Estonian art from the 1800s to today ...

... between Western and Northern Europe and Russia. The city, with a population of 8,000, was very well fortified with city walls and 66 defence towers. With the start of the Protestant Reformation the German influence became even stronger as the city was converted to Lutheranism. In 1561 Tallinn politically became a dominion of Sweden. During the Great Northern War the Swedish troops based in Tallinn capitulated to Imperial Russia in 1710, but the local self-government ...
