Estonia

After a long day flying between Stockholm and Helsinki, we were disappointing to find no hotel rooms under 250Euro available in town (seriously) so we bounced back into the plane at 6pm and flew across the north sea to Estonia's capital, Tallin.

An old Hansa trading town, it has a lovely elevated fortified old town populated by friendly positive, outward looking people. Their modern art gallery (Kumu) is the best I've seen recently.


Tallin central;



Moscow Olympics 1980 (cold war era) sailing was held on the bay at Tallin. This is a concrete underground ice rink built for the games, now fallen into disrepair it is still an amazing piece of architecture.
