Oh, Tallinn

Early September, my Husband and I took a five day trip to Tallinn in Estonia. We had an amazing time! It’s a magical city full of history with well preserved medieval buildings and a rich culture.

 

The weather was very kind to us. Although we arrived in the pouring rain the rest of our days were filled with blue skies and sunshine, the ideal weather to explore this beautiful city.

We spent a lot of time walking around the Old Town area of Tallinn admiring the medieval buildings and defence towers. The red roofs set off perfectly by the bright azure sky.

The local cafés were fantastic, so cosy and inviting! The perfect place to recuperate from all the walking & climbing.

One of my favourite places of all that we visited was the Estonian Open Air Museum. We spent nearly a full day there roaming around the old rural houses. It was like stepping back in time.

 

Polar Bear

I couldn’t resist including this picture of a polar bear at Tallinn Zoo. I’ve never seen a polar bear at a zoo before and it reminded me somewhat of LOST!

 

Dining medieval style at Olde Hansa

We took another trip back in time at the restaurant Olde Hansa. The entire place was lit by candles, the staff were dressed in medieval costume and a band were playing ye olde music. Such a great atmosphere . Mark ate bear sausages!

 

I cannot recommend Tallinn highly enough, I already want to go back. If you’re looking for a European city break and you like history then I urge you to visit, you won’t be disappointed.

  • Nuts about the Sky 12 February 2019

    Using the Nuts about sky colour pack in Scheepjes Sunkissed. First time using this yarn, I love the look of it but it’s a lot thinner than what I’m used to crocheting with.

    First Square and a steep learning curve for me! Lots of stitches and techniques I haven’t used before. Definitely not TV crochet!

    Completed gauge square using 4.5mm clover soft touch hook. Correct width of 10cm achieved but fell slightly short on height - with a bit of stretching and the added embroidery I get the correct height.

    First try was with a 4.5mm crochet lite hook and the measurements were way off! Much too wide but also too short. Also found the hook very squeaky and grabby, not pleasant to work with. Shame as the extra light was handy.

    Week one complete, loving the CAL so far!
