I had initially planned for more rest between the two trips, but due to hotel availability one of them had to be rescheduled, so there we are. If we want to squeeze three trips into a single summer vacation, there isn&#8217;t an awful lot of time left over for other things.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow we&#8217;ll be attending the song festival, so instead of heading straight to Tartu as we usually do, we stay in Tallinn for the weekend. Today we strolled around Tallinn&#8217;s old town, which we haven&#8217;t done in many years. The town was was full of visitors for the song festival, and plenty of foreign tourists as well. Just like Prague, and Valldemossa. I wonder if central Stockholm is the same.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_2\/1652_Tallinn_1.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_2\/1652_Tallinn_5.jpg\" class=\"x45y6\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_2\/1652_Tallinn_7.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><br \/>\nTallinn is all about medieval cobbled streets, and churches and towers and walls. We sampled some of each, and even toured defensive tunnels under the walls.<\/p>\n<p>Having been under the earth, we climbed up into Oleviste church tower, which &#8211; back in the 16th century &#8211; used to be the tallest building in Europe. Or maybe the whole world, I can&#8217;t remember for certain.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_2\/1652_Tallinn_2.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_2\/1652_Tallinn_3.jpg\" class=\"x45y6\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_2\/1652_Tallinn_4.jpg\" class=\"x45y6\" \/><br \/>\nLunch at Tallinn&#8217;s market hall was a nice surprise. The range of eateries was much wider and more varied than I had dared to hope, and so were the choices of vegetarian food. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After barely two days at home, we&#8217;re off again, this time to Estonia.
