Tallinn, Estonia

I was very excited about visiting Estonia. I've been to a couple dozen European countries, so hitting the lesser touristed countries in the east and the northeastern Baltic countries is high on my list. They're full of charm, very cheap and have a noticeably different feel than your typical western European city. Tallinn hits all the right notes. My only complaint is that it's gotten a little carried away with the tourism factor and everyone seems to be cashing in.


My first view of Tallinn from my breakfast table aboard the ship!


We saw many other cruise ships along the way, this Disney cruise ship (on the left) was a regular companion to our ship (on the right) in ports




The "sweater wall"


I didn't see too many people buying sweaters under the July sun












Trevon takes charge; I should submit this photo to Rick Steves
