I'm finally in Europe
We just spent two days in Tallinn. Yes, its true that this is the first time that I actually made it to Europe. (And, no, I've never been to Piter, so I don't want to hear any comments that it's very similar).
Yesterday, was an extremely long day that started around 5am in Kiev. Two words about Kiev: Thank you to our gracious hosts, Lena and Sasha, for taking care of us, feeding us, showing us around and just being your wonderful selves. So around noon, we arrived at Tallinn, found our hostel very quickly and headed out to the old city. Levka has been here before so he doesn't appreciate the beauty nearly as much as I do. But I loved the little streets, old churches and the whole feel of the city. It is amazing how clean and restored this city is. We spent hours and hours and hours walking around. Got lost several times, which only added to the fun. We photographed everything that was photographable, climbed everything that was climable, walked everything that was walkable, etc etcAt around 9pm we realized that we're very North when the sun was still up. It finally got dark around mindnight and after another snack we headed back to the hostel. Here is the 9pm picture, in case you don't believe me:
Anyway, I highly recommend Tallinn to anybody who has not been. Off to get more food and meet with a friend of a friend. (Lim, thank you for the introduction)
Will write a little later. Hugs, j.
