Even though our Baltic Cruise came to an end (sniff, sniff) less than 2 weeks ago, I still have some things to say about the places we visited.
After leaving Germany, we sailed north to the city of Tallinn, capital of Estonia. Like every other destination on this cruise, it was a city that I’ve always wanted to visit. It is small enough that we were able to get off our ship and explore the medieval city on our own for the day.
It did not disappoint. Here are a few pics.
As we disembarked, there was a sign on the dock welcoming us to Estonia, and telling us a bit about the country. For some reason, the Tourism Board thought this was an important thing for us to know.
More than half of the city’s 13th century city wall remains in tact. In a park near the wall there are three rather creepy statues of faceless monks. According to this blogger, they are statues of Danish monks who, during a battle, prayed for victory on behalf of the Danish king.
The old city sits on the side of a hill, the top of which has this fantastic view.
It’s definitely a city I want to visit again.
I got to know it by its choirs; used them instead of armies at one point. Near the top of my bucket list.
Yup. It’s a musical city!
