Tallinn!!

Piret and i jumped on a train at 6am to head to Tallinn. Main reason for this trip was for Piret to meet her dress maker. Once we arrived we caught a bus to Pirets sisters Flat, Her sister never lives here its just for when ever she is visiting Tallinn as she normally lives in Finland. Anyways we dumped our gear and then headed back into town. We arrived just in time to walk to the dress makers workshop, she was a young girl but seemed pretty nice and very confident so i guess thats a good thing considering she is making Pirets Dress, she showed us the other wedding dress she had made so that gave me some confidence.

After that we did a bit of shopping Piret got some new shoes (lucky for her) and i got nothing as always. We then started our walk around Old town (its kinda the tourist city center) it full of restaurants and souvenir shops a lot of which sell amber shes kinda popular werid to think my sister would be so....... and the even more werid thing is shes costs heaps!!!!

It was crazy the amount of tourist it was actually really annoying!!! They had these postcard stands all over the show and the girls would come up to you speaking english trying to get you to buy them, kinda funny really, Wish we had have gone and looked around early morning so missed all the crowds of people but anyway. So after being a tourist for the day we had a beer in one of the local pubs Piret had about half of hers leave me to have 1 and a half man and i tell you thats alot for me!!!! went straight to the head, i must point out beers here are 500ml and 5.2% but yeah i know im a light weight!!!!

Today we didnt really do much feet were to sore from all the walking around yesterday!!! Piret has some high school reunion at her place on Friday so that should be interesting her dad is also coming back to see us before we go. Not long now ive been looking for flats on the internet, should be kinda exciting there are heaps of brand new apartments available so hopefully we can get one of them all fully furnished which is good for us or else might be a bit expensive to get our own place then try and fill it with things!!!
I will finish off today with a newspaper clipping for the eesti paper i have no idea what it says but anyway

Of course I am popular and expensive. That goes without saying really... They are probably reporting on the embarrising falling over you did on national TV... shame!
