Day 9 - Tallinn – Estonia's capital has a quaint little “old” town, and we walked from the ship into the narrow little streets. Soon after we had docked our ship was joined by “Queen Victoria” a huge Cunard Liner, so there was a lot of tourists!
In the centre of Tallinn is a big, cobbled market square surrounded by cafes, we had to stop and patronise one of them, I had some of the local beers – very agreeable!
We decided to go and visit the “museum of the occupation” later, and after a short walk we arrived, to be greeted by a surly youth in a deserted foyer. Admission was 30 Estonian “Crowns” each and we only had 47, (an Estonian Crown has the value of a pebble...), did they accept Euros? “no”, would they accept credit cards? “no”. Did they want to extend a warm and polite greeting to foreign visitors who wanted to learn more about their small country? “err... no”, - we left....
