We woke up this morning in the briny deep after spending our second and last night on MS Isabelle. Latvian land could be seen in the distance but we were still a few hours away so we had a leisurely breakfast, then went back to our cabins to get packed. We left the ship by 11am and got a bus into Riga. Having picked up McDonalds for lunch we had a picnic in the station then caught the first of two trains which were taking us to Tallinn in Estonia. Realising it was not a short journey, we settled in on the train and spent the next three hours sleeping, reading and playing cards, uno and cluedo. Emily and Helena spent a lot of the journey wondering why train stations appear to be built in the middle of nowhere and who uses such stations? The second train took slightly longer so it was almost 10pm when we arrived in Tallinn. Tomorrow we have an early start so everyone headed straight to bed once we checked into the hotel.
