Tallinn Estonia

We slept in again, but this time knew we had to be up by 8:00 as that was when we elected to have breakfast sent to our room. Then Megan had scheduled a hair appt at the salon for 9:00.  She was ready to cut off some hair!

After her hair appt, we got back to the room to find that dad had gone back to bed, and we thought that was a great idea!  We laid back down and rested until we had to get back up for our onshore excursion in Tallinn. We needed to meet the bus at 12:15 on the pier side. We headed that way a little early and found a souvenir shop.  The guided tour also included some old town sights before going to the candy shop for our chocolate making.  We learned a lot of history (of whatvibcouldnhear without an  audiovox). Estonia has been an independent nation since only 1992!  They’ve been owned by just about everyone over the centuries including Russia, Germany, Denmark, etc. Altogether, they’ve only been independent for a total of 50 years.

We got back to the ship and shortly left port. We had an early sushi dinner before we all retired early for the evening. The next theee days in St. Petersburg will be busy!  Tomorrow we have to meet our tour group at 8:15 am.
