Hooray!!
I've now reached Tallinn, after many adventures along the way....Yay!!! The hostel here has a free internet terminal I can use for 30 minutes so I can come online for a quick update! :)
*eeeep* this estonian keyboard is dead wierd.....everything is in the wrong place and theres odd symbols on lots of keys. erkkkkk
I have LOTS to say and lots of tales to tell, and they will all be told in good time, but just the best and worst bits for now. Stumbling upon lots of wonderful may eve and may day celebrations in Tampere and St Petes was fab, the Hermitage is just *incredible*, but the best delight has been the Idiot Cafe in St Petes - a romantic little cellar cafe with a 19th century charm which words will not do justice but I've been having small orgasms over. Wooooo. Was lovely to catch up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alektoeumenides again, who's been nothing short of wonderful. Thank you, dearie.
Disasters include killing my feet totally on my first day in St petes - looking at the map I must have walked easily over 15km and lots of blisters was the evil result of this walking enthusiasm *eeeeep*. Feet are slowly recovering now, thankfully. Also, there was no room for me on the train to Tallinn, so I had to take the coach instead - so I spent last night being bumped around on a little winding potholed road through the deepest forest over the Russian-Estonian border, and getting no sleep at all. Arrived in Tallinn to get my debit card eaten by the first cash machine (fortuneately I have a spare!) Today will be a battle to stay awake. Estonian money is funny, it has "Eesti pank" written on it in large letters which makes me smirk lots.
Off go and explore the delights of Tallinn now. Wheeeeeeeeeeee. *bounce*
