Tuesday May 10
It was such a calm peaceful day on the Baltic yesterday. The sea was like glass with the ship making large, soft, undulating waves. It was like that all day!
Last night we were entertained by 26 year old Mary-Jess from UK. She is the voice behind the theme of Downton Abbey. Her style of music is classical crossover. She has a beautiful operatic voice.
Today we are in medieval Tallinn. We decided to have another day on our own. Geocaching took us to interesting spots in old town, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Vendors were setting up shop at the street market to sell their woollen and linen crafts. We strolled along MORE cobbled lanes past many historical buildings and churches. At the top of the hill, we found a number of vantage points from which to view the city below and the sea. As you leave old town, you have an excellent perspective of the wall and its Tourette's. It is very impressive.
Outside the wall, we visited a number of parks. One has a memorial called The Broken Line commemorating the loss of 852 lives in the 1994 ferry tragedy. We do remember that disaster very well.
We really enjoy these days on our own.
