Tartu Toodledoo

A bit waylaid on the laptop last night with a pernicious issue, which got resolved in the end but caused some tension resulting in lack of sleep. I can power through it though. A great Estonian breakfast again before we go into town to meet a last minute guide. The tour gets pushed back to 17:00 and we set out on our own. On top of the hill, which turns out to be the 5th highest hill in the entire country, we find an old church dating back to 1224. Destroyed and rebuilt partially many times it currently houses the university museum. Great variety of information showcasing the sciences and life in the past 400 or so years from the university perspective. So interesting that we spend a few hours there.

Snacks, a record store and back to the hotel. A third Dutch record for Oliver from me and some more in his own. He is going to have a listening feast.

After a quick drop off to the hotel we meet Stanislav for the tour, is lively, fun and informative. The town comes alive with human stories, such as the student jail escapades and foibles.

Nice dinner at a German restaurant for Schnitzel and a white beer. Slept well after that.Leggi altro
