Arrived in Tallinn yesterday without our luggage. Qantas flight was late leaving Melb as a problem with door not locking; this was not an external door but an internal door - very frustrating. Then the passenger airbridge would not disengage from the aircraft. Left Melb over 1 and half hours late and had to run to catch our connecting flight in Singapore to Helsinki.
Arrived in Helsinki without our luggage but caught a ferry to Tallinn and went shopping for the basics - jocks, shirt, socks, jeans. Hopefully our luggage will arrive today.
Toured the old town of Tallinn yesterday afternoon and walked so I finished up with blisters. The old town is unbelievable with all the mediaeval buildings.Naturally had to sample the local beers; not all that impressed until I had a craft house red beer at a restaurant last night. The food is great - went to a restaurant with country style Estonian food - I had wild boar and Maree had roast pork - fantastic.
Meeting up for lunch with Maree's cousin's wife for lunch and probably dinner in the old town again tonight in search of another good home brew.
