Tallinn No. 2

Wednesday, 26.11.2008

Today we (Heon and I) made another trip to Tallinn. For Heon it was the first time, for me already the second Tallinn visit. Same procedure as last time, same boat (M/S Norlandia) of Eckerö Line.
The only big difference of Tallinn this time .... there was a lot of snow and the city is not really willing to clean footpaths of this snow. Bad luck for the pedestrians :P.
Aaaand: You won't beliebe it. We have found a real christmas market here in Tallinn, WOW. Helsinki still has nothing to offer concerning Christmas. No real christmas lights / decoration, wether on the streets nor in the windows or homes of detached houses or flat buildings. Nearly nothing ... strange!

Enjoy the pics!

Yeah, a christmas market on the main square in Tallinn. Really nice!

And a big christmas tree

A park with a looot of snow, compared to my first visit.

Winter has arrived

Our lunch snack as Hesburgers.
Really nice, EUR 3,30 for a whole menu. If you are used to Helsinki prices which are appr. EUR 7,50 for this menu, Tallinn is a paradise.

My chickenburger with coke and fries.

On the way back on Eckerö Line.
Very tired after all day walking around.
We almost missed the boat because the way to the terminal was fully covered with wet snow which made walking very hard and slow.
