Tallinn is a lovely walled town with colorful buildings. I spent most of the day walking around the town with Deb and Robert, while Jeff and his gang took one of the ships tours. It was a beautiful sunny day with blue sky’s….finally! We window-shopped, visited the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral located on Toompea hill, had a nice lunch, and later I walked along the town walls, while the other two went to a café for coffee. One Chinese couple didn’t have any local currency to tour the walls, so I paid for their tickets, equivalent to .82$ each. The couple told me they were on the Constellation and when I told them “me too,” the man said he would pay me back once on board. I had to laugh and said, “No thank you, but you can pay me back by taking a couple photos of me with my camera while walking along the walls.”

Back in the center of town, I purchased a beautiful Russian nesting doll for myself at a shop that Deb and I checked out earlier (excellent prices compared to the other stores). It was expensive but cheaper than on board the ship. I also bought a small watercolor print of Tallinn.

On the way back to the courtesy bus drop off point, I walked by the flower market. Also nearby was an outdoor market with many local products and souvenirs. I had some Tallinn money left to spend, so I purchased 4 linen napkins for Mom.
