Twelve Months in Tallinn

January 12, 2010

Tallinn old town is an amazing place to visit, the experience starts with a quick language lesson. Since I’m only one day into Estonia, I only manage to learn two phrases. Cheers (while toasting), pronounced tervisex, not turtle sex, terrible sex or nerdy sex, though after drinks, it becomes a game of creative mispronunciations.

The next and best phrase of all, how to say twelve months in Estonian. - “Cocks taste good”. If you don’t believe, check YouTube.

After the quick cultural lesson, it’s time for some sight seeing around Tallinn.

First stop, the oldest running clock in all of Europe. 

The town square.

Russian Orthodox cathedral.

My favourite building in the old town, reminds me of the Adam’s Family.

These colours of the houses remind me of Russian dachas.

Fat Margaret’s Tower.

Mini Peterhof (The Kadriorg Palace).

All in all, a very fun town, with a very active couchsurfing community.
