Day 117 – 5/11 – Tallinn, Estonia

Estonia is closely related to the Finland. They had been part of the Soviet Union until 1991, when they gained independence. Because of their close relationship with Finland, they progressed rapidly post independence.

We were in port a short time: from 9:00am to 3:00pm. We kept it simple and walked into the old city, less than a mile from the dock.

The older city, “Upper Town,” is one of Europe’s best preserved medieval towns. It looks German, because of early trade with the German.
