Tallinn was terrific. We had a wonderful day but started with checking in the car and then rushing for the ferry. Ferries to Tallinn take between on and a half hours and three and a half hours. We went on the superfast one and was it a rough ride! It was drizzling rain and windy and the waves were up. The jetcat found every pothole.
On arrival in Tallinn the sun was out. We walked up to the old town and spent the day looking at the castle, the city walls, churches and cathredrals, and souvenir shops and antique dealers.
The highlights included the city hall dating from the 14th century, the Raeapteek - the old pharmacy operating in the same spot since 1422; the Kick in de Kok (no rude comments please - it was an interesting and challenging place to visit); several of the churches and the city walls and gate. It wasn't just one or two interesting things. It was the total picture of a beautiful old city wthout a McDonalds in sight.
We returned on a much calmer sea and are almost finished packing as we catch the early train to St Petersburg in the morning.

No, no, no. You can't mention you went to visit Kick in de Kok and then say we can't make rude comments. What other type are we expected to make to that!!!!
Now that it is safe to go back on the internet (yes thank you, I have finished reading HP7 and no I won't tell you who dies) I thought I'd come and check out where you were and what you were up to.
Can we get one of those jet thingies to get over to the island? Oh that's right we'd have to yell Slow Down Idiot at ourselves.
Ohh sis - obviously
1. we have lunch at the same time, and
2. I am less vulgar than you.
I'm with Amanda - really, Kick in de Kok?? That is without doubt the funniest place name I have ever heard. I cannot believe you truly expected us to let that one go by!!
others of us are busy working at lunch time, still the place sounds like very interesting place
You uncultured mob! Surely you know the difference a kok and a cock.
