Tallinn with tha parents

Apr 29, 2006 23:13

So, went with the faster ferry to Tallinn, only 1.5h instead of 3.5, which is much better. Sea was quite rough, was reading a mag and got a little sick. Didn't feel too well, so I figured I'd better stop reading and you stare into nothing.

Moored in a different place this time, but also quite near the city, which was okay. We could go onto a church, but we had to climb a winding stairs. Well, that is something I HATE! I absolutely despise that, as I'm afraid I fall down or something. Climbing up is sort of okay, but down is hell. Especially if the stairs aren't the same and such...brrr, but at the same time I wanted to enjoy the magnificent few, so yeah, had to put my fear aside. Considering the fact I am typing this story means that I have made it back safely ;)
View was indeed brill, we could see so much (pics will follow after Thursday).

Walked a bit around in Tallinn. Well, seen some of the places twice, as I'd obviously been there before, but I didn't mind, the weather was nice, a little windy, but sunny and not too cold (unless you were stood in the wind...) Wanted to go to the viewing place again and sort of new where to go. We had found 2 other viewing spots, before we found the right one.

This time it was very busy in Tallinn btw, probs because the weather was nice and such, but many, many visitors and guided tours. *follow the leader leader leader...*

We opted to walk around by ourselves, it's not that you'll get lost in Tallinn or so...

Not done so much shopping as we sat down outside a cafe to enjoy the sun and a Malibu Coke. After that we had dinner in some kind of american/mexican restaurant which was okay, but a little quick as we had to get the 8PM boat back.

Finnish people often buy some alcoholic beverages and most often they carry it in suitcases, trolley's and we've also seen people with that kind of suitcase carriage you can find at the airport...Kinda pathetic to bring so much with you.

The woman next to my dad was sick (either too much alc or the rough sea, or a combination) but she had to vomit. Fortunately (I was sitting behind) she did it in a plastic bag, so I didn't have to 'enjoy' the smell...

Ehm...think that was it. It was a nice day, the weather was a little better than last time and NOW IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I have turned 22, 23 mins ago. Just so you know ;)

Thanks opa and oma for your birthday card and little gift! Always very welcome ;)
