Sitting here in this space age bar and can't quite believe we're on a ship. This is the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki. The glass is basically the front of the ship. Feels like we're on the USS Enterprise and just about to hit warp speed. Pam is wearing grey, just behind the guy in red.
We've spent the day in Tallinn, capital of Estonia, couple of hours sail from Helsinki. Used to be part of USSR until 1991. The only country in the world that speaks a language anything like Finnish.
The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. A mixture of wide streets....
... and little walkways...
... some humongous churches ...
....and Disney-like towers.
It's an old walled town built in the 12th and 13th centuries and like many others it was fortified with a wall around the whole place.
It's very picturesque and something like 9 million tourists visit every year.
