Tallinn

On Friday morning i headed down to the port and caught the LindaLine ferry over the Baltic sea to Tallinn, Estonia. I met Anna-Liisa (Vivian's cousin whom I met in Helsinki the other day) at the port and went back to her friend's place for some pancakes. They are all just about to head off on a trip to Australia for 12 months so were pretty interested in all sorts of things over there. We drove out to 'The Project' one of the many big clusters of identical soviet buildings that surround the city. here we stocked up on a few drinks and made our way to the beach. Despite everyone claiming the water to be really warm, I was surprised it wasnt frozen over. In the evening we went into the old city centre which had plenty of pretty old buildings on the hill, a huge city wall and plenty of tourists having a drink. We joined them for a few hours until the girls decided to start karaoke which we decided was a perfect time to call it a night.
In the morning I went with Kadyi and Anna-Liisa out into the coutryside where Kadyi was going to go skydiving. The coutryside was really nice with little farms all over the place. The airfield looked dilapedated and the plane looked like it wouldnt get off the ground, but Kadyi survived the jump. Next we called past Anna-Liisa's grandparent's place to fill our bellies with peas and raspberries and then went back to Tallinn. For the afternoon we went to the city beach and then went back home to have a few drinks before heading out. However after just a couple of drinks and a few different games we noticed it was already after 5am and decided to give the clubs a miss for the night. The next morning I caught the 10am ferry back to Helsinki and then got a train out to Tampere (at 160km/h it didnt take long to get there).
