Tallinn... Back to the future!

Amazing city...


The tiny city center has buildings of the Middle-Ages ; the fortress of Tallinn was known to be untakable by the enemy...


Ville incroyable...


Le petit centre de Tallinn avec ses batiments du Moyen-Age : la forteresse de Tallinn est connue pour avoir ete l'une des plus imprenables de l'histoire.



La plus vieille pharmacie d'Europe encore en service....

The oldest pharmacy still working in Europe...

Wild animal in Tallinn...


Outside the centre, limited by the walls of the fortress, it's totally different and it's very less welthy, but many nice wooden houses.




En dehors des murs de la forteresse, en dehors du centre donc, c'est beaucoup moins riche, mais avec plein de jolies maisons en bois.




Watch out for the guy who wants to sell Estonian music to tourists, we found his "seldom" albums much cheaper in the supermarket... lol




Attention au mec qui accoste les touristes pour leur vendre de la music estonienne : on a trouve ses extremement rares CD bien moins chers au supermarche... lol





Great people, great parties...


We ended up in a very friendly youth hostel, a little bit "hippy style", where the staff is composed of volunteers from all over the world, "working" there for free housing. Backpackers youth hostel is definitely to be recommanded.




Gens super, bonnes soirees...


On a atteri dans une auberge de jeunesse tres chaleureuse, un peu Hippy sur les bords, ou les employers sont en fait des benevoles venant du monde entier, et qui "bossent" la en echange d'un loyer gratuit. L'auberge Backpackers a Tallinn est fortement recommandee!






And, to anticipate any comment on that : yes, estonian ladies are very cute...! Specially at 8 in the morning when we arrived...


Et pour prevenir tout commentaire la dessus : oui les femmes estoniennes sont tres mignonnes! Surtout a 8h du matin quand on est arrive...
