Baltic Cruise: Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn wasn't one of those places that would have been on my travel list of places to see, but I really enjoyed it. It was a really cute old town, and the weather was beautiful, so that always helps. We ended up joining some of the other families on our cruise to do a bike tour, which was a lot of fun ... except for my butt. My butt was really unhappy. :)

The beautiful day
Presidential Palace, and me looking like a Giant Dork - it was kind of on purpose though, one can't help it when one is wearing such stylish clothing

'Fat Margaret' fortress walls outside Old Tallinn

Awesome Statue!
We toured an Open Air Museum on our bikes too ...



It's not better without the helmet, is it?

A view of a church in old town - the locals never took to the Russian Orthodox religion, but ironically, this church is what saved the city from heavy bombing in the war.
