Today I decided to visit Tallinn Zoo. It lies some 5 kms outside the city centre but there are so many trolleybusses going in that direction that it was not difficult to find it. If you ever take a bus then it is advisable to buy your tickets at a kiosk, it's about 30 percent cheaper.

Tallinn Zoo should not be compared to Berlin Zoo or Artis in Amsterdam, but it is reasonably interesting. The authorities are doing their best to improve the quality of the living quarters of the animals, and the new constructions for the mouflons, deer and other mountain animals are really very successful. Unfortunately it was again hot, hot, hot, so many animals preferred to stay inside.

In the afternoon I went to the park to read a book and get my last bit of sunshine, because dark clouds over my head promised the first rain of my holidays.

In the evening it started to rain and I gave a short Dutch lesson to Natalie who has some friends in Holland and Belgium. I also met a woman who pretended she was miss Estonia 1998. I checked on the internet, but i don't think it was her...still, maybe some of you know her ?
