Touring Tallinn

Second attempt at this entry. I accidently erased the first one.GRRRRR 

We started our day by seeing that our ship was the last arriving of 5 huge cruiseships and of course  the only thing to see here is the old walled city (a UNESCO site) so naturally Caro and I joined 10,0000 other people enjoying the beautiful streets and sounds of a beautifully preserved medieval city. It is gorgeous.

After three hours of walking around we headed back to the Star for lunch then headed back out for a three hour bicycle tour. The bike tour initially went to the new parts of town (interesting) but ended up back in the old walled city. We walked around a bit more then went to a150 year old cafe mentioned in Trip Advisor  (great pastry!).

It is now after supper and we are sailing to St Petersburg and as we do Caro and I are relaxing on lounge chairs on the promenade deck watching  shipping traffic go by.

We will see the 9:30 show tonight then hit the sack for a super exciting couple of days in SPB!
