Estonia - Tallin

Image
Caught the ferry 2 hrs due south from Helsinki to Estonia's capital Tallin. 7 ferries left today with maybe a thousand people on each. Tallin is a beautiful old city with walled sections, alleyways and market squares.

Finland

Arriving early on a Sunday morning is always challenging. Train from airport to Helsinki then ... rubbish everywhere  ... After Saturday night!  Harbour cruise and open top boat in Summer  We picked up our car and drove through so much forest...pine and silver birch...wood and paper are a major export. Everywhere we stopped there were beautiful lakes. Old preserved wooden buildings in Rauma, charming river walks in Turku and beaches at Hanko with no-one on them. Finland felt relaxed and unhurried.
