Hotel St. Petersbourg - A Summit Hotel Tallinn

... Cathedral built in 1894-1900 is beautiful and full of an amazing smell I can smell even now:)
- The main attractions are in the two old towns (Lower Town and Toompea) which are both easily explored on foot. Eastern districts around Pirita and Kadriorg are also worth visiting and the Estonian Open Air Museum near Rocca al Mare, west of the city, preserves aspects ...

... Tallinn is the doors...at least in the Old Town, the front doors of all the buildings are carved and/or painted in ridiculously ornate and beautiful designs. We got to walk up the tower of St. Olaf's church, which was the tallest building in Europe until the middle of the 1600s, I think. The spire is 123 metres tall, but the walkway around the tower is only 60 metres above the ground - still pretty high up, definitely. We also went up to Toompea Hill, which is where the original ...

... directly. We found out later that we had been ripped off a couple of dollars, but after all the walking we had done in the previous couple of cities, we were just happy to be driven somewhere for a change. It had started raining for the first time on our adventure, which was the end of some really good luck considering the time of the year and where we are. The taxi dropped us off right outside the door of our hostel, The City Bike on Nunne.. easily the best hostel we have ...

... where we had rabbit, wild boar and elk to eat. It was then time to board our overnight ferry to Stockholm, for our final city in Scandinavia. Tallinn has only experienced short periods of independence: 1918-1940 and 1989 to the present. Accordingly, there are a lot of reminders of previous rulers: the Danes, the Germans, the Swedes and the Russians/Soviets.

... say "They're here!" The manager, an Australian called Jonathon, met us and showed us our room-to-be. He was apologetic and promised that the room would be ready by evening. Our room was almost ready, the bathroom had no door and the rest of the apartment was in disarray. There were about half a dozen student-types painting walls, moving building materials and just hanging about. It turned out that we were the hostel's first customers. When asked ...

Mai and I ate breakfast together around 9:00 and although she was supposed to do some uni work (she`s a lecturer) she hung out with me in between getting some work done at home. We chatted about social justice, education an the like. BTW, I am using my visiti to Tallinn and Mai as a way to ease into my trip - just in case you are wondering why I`m not off travelling everywhere, I have been here ...

... Chicago but flew over it and went to Wisconsin due to weather and circled we laughed and said we could have at least gotten some cheese out of it! So our 8.5 journey ended up being almost 10 ugh!! We managed to get home safe around 10:30 p.m. and had some family members to greet the team!! so now i would like to share some photo's of our trip. Please continue to pray for Tim, Cindy ...

Arriving in Tallinn on the ferry from Stockholm early Wednesday morning, and with just over 24 hours until our flight to Vilnius, there was no time to loose. We had booked a hotel room in the photogenic old town, and after dropping off our tiny bags we set off exploring on foot. Being early December and mid-week we were surprised to see so many tourists, most of them fellow Scandinavians. So we were not alone to have discovered this part of the world ...
