Steve and I spent 24 quick hours in Tallinn over the weekend. Pictures are here. Stay tuned for Steve's comments about the trip.
Update: Steve's comments:
We went to Tallinn, Estonia for a short trip for the weekend. We wanted to personally experience and see the old cold war era. Saturday morning we went to the botanical gardens and enjoyed the sunny day and beautiful landscape. We almost went up the TV tower, but decided to head back the city. Saturday afternoon we strolled through the cobble streets of Tallinn and tried to avoid the numerous stag dos (translation: British bachelor parties). We had a coffee at a very cool coffee shop that had candle wax on the wall from previously burnt candles. Enjoyed a pint on the main square while watching the sunset. One of my favourites was the Occupation Museum. The museum had great documentaries on the cold war and WWII eras. I thought the 1960 cars, vending machines, and radios were the most interesting.
Saturday night we went to a traditional supper in caves and the waitresses dressed up in full gear. Met an English/Swedish couple on holiday from the 3 kids. We then went to a fantastic club with fashion show and all. Fashion show started at 12:30am and lasted about 45 minutes which is when the dancing then ensued. Sarah and I tore it up until 3. Sunday was spent travelling home.

Excellent pictures. I'm eagerly awaiting Steve's trip report.
We are all still waiting for Steve's comments on the trip. Will it be angry Steve or nice Steve reporting? -Kunk
Great photos and commentary on your trip to Estonia. Iraq is very much like a country trying to emerge from Soviet style tyranny. Generally, most men have little ambition to work hard to get ahead. Most are inclined to be told what to do and are content to simply dig a ditch for 5 days a month and do nothing the rest of the time. It's nice to see what other countries have become after Soviet occupation ended. And are faring much better. Thanks for sharing. - Mark S.
