After a long time, finally I am back on blog :-) I would like to share our trip to Tallinn which is old city in Estonia nearby Finland. We decided to visit Tallinn on 11th April 2009. We were 11 of us with 3 kids. We reached Helsinki early in the morning around 6:20am. Bus stops, railway stations were almost empty. Then we took bus which goes to Harber. When we reached Harber, we could see many cruise, so many people around. We converted some euros to Estonian crowns, got tickets and boarded to Cruise. This was my first journey in Cruise. It was quite big. Even cars and trucks were loaded into that cruise. Cruise started at 8:30am. We got some place to sit and started with our breakfast with Sandwitch and parata.
Then we went on the deck to see the trail left behind by fast moving ship. It was great to see that. On deck it was quite windy and cold, somehow we managed to take some snaps :-) We reached Tallinn around 10:30 am. We got tickets to Hop-on Hop-off site seeing bus. Started visited places.
1. Song Festival Grounds
2. Russalka Monument - a beach place where a beautiful statue showing a direction of ship sunk
3. Visited fort where 3 beautiful churches were there.
4. Then visited Town Hall where lot of different beauitful buildings, churches were there and Viru Gate.
All these places were worth to see atleast once :-)
It was 7pm, we had Hesburger veg-burger and were back on ship at 9pm. Played Dump Sharad while coming back to Helsinki. It was too fun, with all our group we did not realize how did we spent one day.
