A trip to Tallinn or 70kms to spring

May 12, 2009 17:57

So last Thursday me and 3 girls went by boat from Hki to Tallinn. It all started with a fight, as it turned out that people somehow think that Tallinn is spelled with one n, throwing arguments like 'who cares about Estonia anyways?' I might not care about Estonia that much, but I do care about correct spelling. So after I made sure that now everyone remember that it is spelled with 2 n, off we went. It takes about 2-3 hours to get to Tallinn from Helsinki by sea, although I am not really sure as we started drinking once the Duty Free store was open.
When we arrived in Tallinn, it was around 10-11pm and we couldn't get off the boat right away, because then they wouldn't let us in until 8am. Really dumb if you ask me. So as we had nobody to crash at, we had to stay on the boat till the morning. And we took the most out of this night :D After we drank 3 bottles of really nice wine, we went around the boat, to check out bars and discos. After some more drinking it was around 2am and we planned to wake up at 7, so we dragged our asses back to our cabin. Dragged literally. We were walking with my friend, singing songs and laughing so much that I am still surprised how we didn't fall off any of the stairs. When we returned to the cabin, it turned out that some people are hungry. And apparently some parents forgot to teach their kids not to play with food. That's why a kurkku-fight (cucumber) was started! The fight was 2 on 2, so at some point me and my friend found ourselves thrown out of our cabin to the corridor, being hardly dressed xD And of course, once we started banging at the door, out of nowhere a security guy appeared, telling us to stop. FFS.

Next morning was hell. We had 4 hours to walk around Tallinn and we were so terribly hangover, that all we wanted to find was some place to eat. It took us a while, so after we ate, there was like 1,5 hour left. We did a little walking around the Old Town. I really really loved it there. But to see it properly, I need to come there for a few days and have someone show me around, and preferably not being hangover.

On the way home I was sitting at the window, watching the sea most of the time. I felt so tired and drained, I couldn't even describe it. Only 12-hours sleep made me recover somehow. You always need another vacation after such a vacation.

Now some pics.

Drinking started...

Tallinn from the boat.



A street we were walking through. Made me want to wear a dress and write love letters.



Next morning.



At least someone was feeling good.



Now I know. Inferno moved to Tallinn to become a pop-club.
