The next morning we woke up late... started even later as we all enjoyed a coffee and baguette before we ran to the tram... it didn't help much as we had to run 20min through Helsinki city to catch our 8am ferry :P We made it last minute and relaxed on our ride towards Tallinn.
Tallinn welcomed us with sunshine right away... what a beautiful city! After we've been rather disappointed by Helsinki's appearance and high prices, Tallinn surprised us as lovely, cozy and considerably low cost city. Huge parts of the old city walls are intact, it has plenty cozy churches and the hanse style houses are simply lovely. After dinner 9 beers and a bottle of rum prepared us for a party night^^ First another beer in a bar before we went to Hollywood club... 23 beers, 4 cocktails, a few dances and talks later the club closed at 5am... another 4 beer helped us to get to sleep... no wonder I suffered hangover the whole next day :(
The next day (19.05.) we continued to enjoy the lovely center of Tallinn before we watched the champions league final... the result degraded our party mood... the next day (20.05.) we went back to Helsinki... already the ride on the ferry gave me a sunburn before we enjoyed a nap in front of the Russian church and another one in Kaisaniemen park. We discovered even some nice buildings next to all the Stalinistic ones :D The ice-hockey final left us with our 7eur beers when Russia bet Slovakia... we cheered for Slovakia to see the small and charming country win... but Russia been simply the better team... finally we took a nap at the airport before our flight left early morning (21.05.) back home...
