Day 13 - Tallinn

We woke up on our last day in Tallinn and quickly went down to have a traditional (?) Estonian breakfast. After this we packed up our rucksacks then headed out for the day, our aim to see the historical old town. We passed through the gates of the old city and proceeded to look at various souvenir shops which were in the old medical style. Some of us then did a tour of the main tourist sites such as the cathedral while others continued to shop. After this we broke for lunch at a lovely restaurant which had a Michelin starred chef! A few of us then went to see one of the old towers on the city wall which was amusingly named Fat Margaret, and was indeed rather fat. We all met together again to go on a little tourist train around the city. We were given a leaflet for the museum of mediaeval torture instruments, but we opted to gives a miss! After our day in the old Tallinn we headed to the bus station to catch our bus to Riga. It was a long journey so many of us slept. We arrived at the hotel and swiftly went to bed, ready to spend the day in Riga tomorrow.
Love Hel V and EmChat (as we have become known!)
