Day trip to Tallin.

Part of extending my time away was to be able to go to Tallin in Estonia 🇪🇪 as id seen photos and it looked beautiful.
An early ish start and I took a taxi to the harbour and bought a foot passenger day trip to Tallin
It was a 2.5hr cruise on a ship much bigger than the one for my Greenland cruise and there was an incredible amount of people going to Tallin, many with suitcases also children and dogs
The inside of the boat was noisy and chaotic so after a brew in an on board cafe, I went to find a place outside
I located a place at the back of the ship, where it wasn't windy and had great views, it was also quiet ...being on the 10th floor
On arrival in Tallin I paid for thn jumped on the hop on hop off bus .For once this was a bad idea ,it wasn't going to set off for a further 20mins ( time was at a premium, as boat back to Helsinki was at 5pm and boarding 4.30pm...the time i got on the bus was 1pm and it set off at 1.20pm. I anxiously stayed on the bus experiencing the wider areas of modern Tallin whilst clock watching ,as i was keen to have enough time to explore the old town, which is what I'd come for .
An hour later I was able to get off the bus near a striking Cathedral. A nearby stall was selling fresh orange which was delicious.
Inside the church was stunning but photos weren't allowed
I wandered the picturesque cobbled streets of the old town stopping briefly for a brew
My mission complete i returned to the ship ....which i didn't bargain on being half an hours walk away
Once on board, I again spent most of the journey outside, going in only to have a meal just before arriving back in Helsinki
Its been an enjoyable dayRead more
