I remember when we saw the ship’s itinerary, I noticed the stop before Saint Petersburg, Russia we were going to a place called Tallinn, Estonia. I didn’t know anything about Estonia except it was under Soviet control until the fall of the USSR. I don’t think we ever expected much out of Tallinn but, like liquor-filled chocolate, it was surprisingly unique, and were very pleasantly surprised.
My family picked a Best of Tour through Disney for our excursion. When we got off the boat, we met our guide who was a rather tall, blonde gentleman with an accent that wasn’t too hard to understand. (I’m terrible with names I forgot all of our tour guides’ names except for one in Saint Petersburg). We stopped in Old Town Tallinn, where we entered a medieval built church and listened to a quick concert. We also walked around the Old town a bit, did some shopping. We also stopped to take pictures of a Russian Orthodox church which of course was, elaborate and beautiful.
Next, we stopped for lunch, our entire tour was kind of crammed into this one area of the restaurant. I think everyone was very hungry at this point. I remember the food, a juicy chicken dish with sauteed vegetables in a mushroom sauce being delicious. But when you’re starving most food is really good.
After lunch, we went to an outdoor concert venue where they have the world’s most massive stage, made for 30,000 singers. On a side note, there have been many famous musicians and bands that have held concerts at this venue. Tallinn hosts its own song festival every 5 years, which fills the stage with singers. We visited the Governor’s Garden, also known as the Palace Garden, we walked around a bit and took pictures.

Tallinn is a special place located on the Baltic Sea, founded in 1154 A.D. with narrow streets that was built in the 13th century and some in the 17th century. It was a pagan culture until taken over by the Danish and shortly after that the Finnish, the Germans, followed by the Russians at the beginning of the 2nd World War. They recently became an independent nation after the fall of the Soviet Empire in 1991.
When people ask my wife, what was one of her favorite places that we stopped was on our cruise she said, Estonia.
Hi just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
I’ll check it out, thanks.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal.
I must say you’ve done a excellent job with this. Also, the blog loads
extremely quick for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!

Many thanks. I use a 2017 Wordpress theme that I absolutely love.
Very good blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting withh a free platform like Wordpress
or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused ..
Any ideas? Cheers!
This is my second go-around with a travel blog. I’m on a free Wordpress site in conjunction with Affiliate Marketing. I’m writing a blog but I’m also actively marketing for a third party called SFM. I’m not trying to sell you anything just telling you my situation. Start the Wordpress site (mine is 2017 theme) and just start writing. I went through a bunch of tutorials from a third party site I market for so that helped a lot but the cleaner and less cluttered your site is the better. I’ve always loved writing since I was in grade school. I’m just wasn’t very confident at it until recently. Also using Grammarly helps. There’s a free version but if you’re serious about writing get the paid version. Thanks for reading and good luck.
I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading extremely slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue
on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
No, it’s not just you. I’m aware of and trying to fix the issue.
