Tallinn, Estonia








Woke up early to go to Tallin, across the Gulf of Finland from Helsinki by hydrofoil.
the Old town is beautifully preserved, mostly medieval. A lot of the old city walls and fortifications remain. Partly because when it was fashionable in the rest of Europe to tear down city walls, Tallinn was to poor to do it.

Climed up the bell towers of the Town Hall (Raekoja) and St Olaf Church. Really tiring for unfit ol' me. But great views over the Old City. This town has quite a few beautiful towers and domes.
