Tallinn- Today we enjoyed a quick visit to the historic capital of
Estonia from 7am until 2. Tallinn is a quiet and beautiful town still
holding onto Russian cultural influences, though it gained
independence in 1991. Set on a hill above the Gulf of Finland, the old
town is a medieval enclave filled with old walls, towers, winding
cobbled lanes and buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. We visited
3 more churches in the old own, and I must say that the churches we've
visited on this trip are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. We
made our way all around Tallinn on foot in just a few hours and had
beautiful weather for pictures. We are looking forward to a sea day
tomorrow to rest our legs and perhaps enjoy another scotch tasting
before Copenhagen on Thursday!
