Estonia. Tallinn

We got to Tallinn by the most amazing bus ever. Not only did it have a working bathroom - a first- but a coffee machine and WiFi only we got to Estonia. (Later we took at least one more on EuroLines)
We found our way to our host. Who had made us an amazing stew. Then we went to the old town where we walked around. It was super medieval. Also right way the city has a Scandinavia feel to it. Which makes seen since Finland is only 70km over the water.
We just walked around since everything was closed. Then we went back where our host who was a chief made another soup with salmon, which for me was heaven.
Then the next day we went to the Museum of Occupation, which was about when Germany, and the CCCP/ Soviets where in control over Estonia. It was a super cool building along with had history videos that Shannon and I watched. It was super interesting to hear their side of the war. I learned a lot and hope to find some more books on the topic. After this we went walking around again in Old Town. More churches, which we are now have to be up to at least 30 in looking at.

Estonia was a super surprise for us all. We didn't expect it to be so nice, so Euro, so old, or Medieval. Its a beautiful town to walk around and everything is clean. It would be fun to go back in the summer and enjoy the beach and all the parks.
