Tallinn to begin Year 2





We have just entered Year 2 of our adventure and we did so in Tallinn, Estonia. It's so close, just 1.5 hours by fast ferry across the Gulf of Finland. We stayed one night so we saw a good amount but are looking forward to returning since it's such an awe-inspiring town. It has been very well preserved for centuries, and just out of Russian rule since 1991, under which it was somewhat ignored for years, hence not modernized nor bombed as other European cities have been. Here are a few pictures of the city walls and towers which you can climb into, for a real taste of the past. We highly recommend a trip to Tallinn.


This trip brings our mileage to the following totals for this past year:
Laurie - 41,620 miles (66,966 kilometers) and Gerald 59,864 miles (96,330 kilometers).
Whew!
