We have had a lovely day in Tallin. The morning didn’t get off to a great start, it started pelting down just after we left the ship and it was quite a walk to the bus for our tour. We were both soaked from the knees down by the time we made it to the bus. The tour we had chosen was a walking tour through the Old Town so we were a bit worried, but the showers stopped for a while and it wasn’t cold, so we started to dry out. Again our guide was very good and we wove our way along cobblestone streets through the old town. The tour included a concert of medieval madrigals in an old church. The performers were a group of young actors and vocalists and they were wonderful. No backing music, just their voices, it was lovely.

After the tour we headed off on our own and spent a couple of hours exploring the city. We walked along the top of the city wall.
Started to meet all sorts of interesting nice people. Last night dinner was a real highlight. Our dinner party included Richard who was a former ambassador and trade commissioner and his wife Margaret. We had a ball.
