    Riga Old City

    Yesterday in Latvia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    It is Riga time. And oh boi, this city is pretty. There is so much to see! We started by walking to the river and then around in the old city area. So here is the first half of our day in pictures!

  • Train to Riga

    July 12 in Estonia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Today was a travel day. We left Tallinn with a train at 10:51 to Riga. More precisely, the train was said to go to Vilnius, but it actually stopped at the Estonian/Latvian border where we had to switch trains.

    Continuing on the Latvian side of things, we arrived in Riga six hours later, at around 16:50.
    Starting tomorrow, we have three days here and will make good use of them.

    For now, let's have some pictures from our train ride c:

  • Aegna

    July 11 in Estonia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    It was finally time for some nature, after spending so many days in cities.

    When doing some research for this vacation, we realized there's an island just 30 minutes away by ferry from Tallinn, so we planned a full day for hiking across that island today.

    We arrived at around 10:30 in the morning and arrived back at the dock by around 15:30.
    After eating some food at the Café, we waited for a while and then took the ferry back at 18:30.

    The island is very pretty, very silent, clean and there were not many other people around. There's also a lot to see, since it used to be a military station. The landscape is very varied too even though the island isn't big. If you're ever in Tallinn and have a day to spare, this island is a clear recommendation.

  • Tallinn City Tour (Part 1)

    July 10 in Estonia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    We left Finland today and continued on the ferry to Estonia, where we arrived in Tallinn.

    Together with a friend, we spent the day in the city, learned a lot about the history of this place and visited a museum, including a walk through the old city defense wall.

    Estonia greeted us with perfect weather: Sunny and 20°C.

    This footprint shows the first half of the day until we took a break at Burger Box.

  • Porvoo

    July 9 in Finland ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    We took a bus to Porvoo, a small town just an hour drive away from Helsinki, with one of the most iconic Old Cities in Finland. We only had around 90 minutes here before our bus ride back, but we used it to check out the river area and the old abandoned railway station.Read more

  • Helsinki City Center

    July 9 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Continuing through Helsinki, we checked out some of the "must see" spots, including some pretty buildings.
    Mioh also wanted to go into a store called "Music Hunter" and they got two CDs out of it.

    Up next is a quick trip with the bus to Porvoo.Read more

  • Suomenlinna

    July 9 in Finland ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    Early in the morning, we took the ferry (which was conveniently included in our HSL public transit day ticket) to the Fortress Island Suomenlinna.

    After arriving, we ate some cake in a Café and then walked across the island and checked out the historical buildings.

    The whole trip took us two hours, then we headed back to the mainland.

    July 8 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Another long train ride later we arrived in the center of Finlands capitol city, Helsinki.

    We decided to check into our hotel first before taking a long walk around the nearby park, where we found a funny thing™, the sibelius monument.

    Afterwards, we headed back to our hotel, preparing for a full day in the city tomorrow.

  • Savonlinna Boat Tour

    July 6 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    After leaving Tampere, we took some trains (and a replacement bus) to Savonlinna, a small town/city located right in the middle of Finlands biggest lakes. Weather was good when we arrived so we decided to go on a boat tour around the lakes.

    Halfway through, it started to rain heavily. What a vibe!

    On return, we walked around in the rain a little before returning to our hotel.

  • Tampere

    July 5 in Finland ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

    Hello!
    We arrived in Finland yesterday (Helsinki Airport) and took a train to Tampere, where we met up with two friends today.
    We walked around the city a little, checked out a video games exhibition in a museum and spent time in a Barcade.

    Tomorrow, we will continue to Savonlinna, a small town in southeast Finland with many lakes around.

    Weather has been mixed so far. It's been raining a lot but so far, this has been okay because we came prepared (with rain coats ;))
