In Tallinn

Took the Tallink ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn. Both cities had ultramodern terminals and huge crowds ready to board. Nor did the pax waste any time. The gates opened and they surged forth to board. We got u/w 15 min before scheduled departure. These are serious travelers.
Nice ferry, smooth journey.
Followed the crowd our of the Tallinn terminal and the walked the 1 km+ to our hotel. Although we were well ahead of check-in, the room was ready and after freshening up, we toured Old Town.
Really fun. This weekend is some sort of medieval heritage festival with the usual fol-de-rol that goes with it. We bypassed most of the frivolity and took in a few of the castles, city walls, old churches and the like.
Supper was a group grope with our companions for the next two weeks. We seem to be about average age and they appear to be PLUs.
More tours tomorrow.Read more
