Tallinn Port


Stunning views of the port at Tallinn, Estonia.  Stood on top of a massive concrete Soviet-era concert hall to see it.  Half a dozen cruise ships were in port.  Most of the shop owners around town asked us if we came in via a cruise.  Seems that is how most other Europeans visit Estonia with cruises running to Stockholm, Germany, Denmark, and farther.  Although the vast majority of visitors are taking much smaller ferries running the two hour route from Helsinki, Finland.
We had originally planned to take that route into Europe, until we realized just how much it would add to our budget for limited gains to visit Helsinki.  Will have to plan a Scandinavian trip once we are much wealthier than now.
