Estonia what? Yes – Estonia, the small little country next to Russia across the Baltic Sea/Gulf of Finland from Finland.  Though it was only a day trip, we thoroughly enjoyed visiting Tallinn, the capital and central hub of Estonia. The adventure started at 11:30am on the Viking Express from Helsinki.  The Viking Express is the size of a cruise ship and transports people, cars, cargo and big rigs across the Sea.  The 2.5 hour boat ride was peaceful, entertaining and unique!  There were buffets, bars, entertainment, casinos, karaoke and shopping on board – so needless to say the 2.5 hours flew by! Once we docked in Tallinn, we walked to The Old Town and started to explore. We ate in the Old Town Square where we tried bear. Yes bear! It was actually more tender than the lamb we ordered.  At lunch, we learned that 50% of the population is Russian which is why there is a lot of architectural influences and culture apparent while touring the city.   It was a quick trip, but we enjoyed our short time in Tallinn and would highly suggest anyone in the area to make sure to stop here for a couple hours!  Here is a look at our day adventure!

Cheers,
