Tallin

Another amazing city. As is common, Tallin has a compact old town surrounded by the more modern areas and of course a large port complex. Ran 6k first thing along the seafront in light snow and icy underfoot.

Keeping up the modern history theme of the trip, we visited the Museum of Occupation which looks at Tallinn’s periods of Nazi and Soviet control, mainly through the eyes of video testimony of survivors. Later a walk around the old town and port area. We walked past several embassies which are mostly old buildings fronting small narrow streets on the old town.

Tallin is beautiful and definitively Baltic but with a Scandi influence. A few pics belowRead more
