European Adventure 2025: Day (4) TALLINN

 Well well well, where do I start ?? First I did not sleep all night, light skies, trip anxiety and looming war just combined to give me a sleepless night.. the last one I have no control over, the first 2 I do but not last night… in any case, i woke up at 4 am to get ready to go to the train station to take a subway to the airport!  It is a first so i needed to be alert but once again, I was impressed by how nice people are with tourists… A young lady out of nowhere help me with everything at the station… it looks like I am using all my luck and soon i will run out and then i will be be left in the cold but for now great … getting out of Oslo was a breeze and at the cute Oslo airport I sat down for a well deserved coffee and a pastry. The flight to Tallinn took just over an hour and i was on the ground in this relatively small but cute airport.. I took a taxi to my hotel, got my room, took a shower and crashed literally … all the fatigue showed up at once and so i slept for few hours … I woke up around 5 pm, dressed and hit the Tallinn streets… my hotel happens to be smack in the middle of everything so I went straight to the old, historic town … Well I have seen pictures but seeing it with my own eyes 👀 was different .. shocked, speechless and just in awe…

Being late in the day and tired i decided not to do too much so i left the old town and went hunting for food … here are some pics from today … tomorrow will be a great day for sure …
