Days 8 - 10

Tallinn - Helsinki


Tallinn is a beautiful place with lot's of distractions, apparently. We managed to stay two more days in this lovely capital of Estonia. After a night outside it was quite obvious, that next day wasn't going to be the cycling day. So we moved out of the camp and visited a friend who offered us their garden for camping. It's always nice to have somebody local to show you the place. And next day... next day was tango night, so we stayed another day, again at the camp place - which, strangely enough, is not intended for tent only visitors. Thanks for understanding. Somehow the nicest girl at the reception managed to find the way for us to stay there anyway. And moreover we got the chance to wash the clothes too. The third day we had to make a decision - run for the ferry to Finland, or stick around. We chose the former. And almost got caught in Helsinki beer festival. Luckily the camp site is about 15 km from the centre, so we didn't bother to go back, although the metro station is right next to the camp. Needless to say, we were too late for sauna.
