Tallinn

A truly stunning city.  It was cold, very cold, but the falling snow had transformed Tallinn into a winter wonderland.

The Christmas season had passed, tourists were thin on the ground, a few hardy souls occupying the cafes and pubs around town.  It was a pleasure to explore the streets of this quaint city.  The Old Town square is the focal point, bordered on each side with pastel coloured buildings, architecture full of character, carrying imprints from a Soviet past.












The Seaplane Lennusadam Museum is highly recommended providing a fasinating insight to the maritime history of Estonia featuring the Suur Toll, an ice-breaking vessel that served the Soviet navy during the first world war.
