Tallinn.. Nice City!! Pissed Drunk on boat..

Woke up at around 9 + am.. finally reaching Tallinn after this 16-17hr boat trip.. How this boat trip works is u pay 95kr for a return ticket to Tallinn.. u board the ship at Stockholm at 5pm on the first day then u arrive in Tallinn at around 1030am then u walk around Tallinn then board back the ship at 5pm n arrived back at Stockholm at 1030am on the third day.. so we could only spend 6hrs in Tallinn..

The Room Access Card for our cabin..

Arrival at Tallinn after passing thru border control.. TO TOWN!!

Dont jump off the pier..

Group pic with the Tallinn old town backdrop..


Taking a pic with the towers with red top, symbolic of Tallinn.. there r actually watchtowers left behind from medieval times when there was a defensive wall surrounding the city..

Houses in old town of Tallinn..


We passed by this alley.. which is smt like a mini bazaar..




but its a tourist trap.. the stuff there r rather expensive..

Town Hall..


souvenior shops r rather ex in the Old tOwn as well...


took a pic of St Nicholas Church..


a 400 year old Pharmacy.. oldest one in the world.,. it had been prescribing medicine even b4 Columbus discovered America..


Some ppl in medieval costumes promoting their restaurant..

Estonian Royal Opera House

Some graffiti.. this was done with spray paint.. very nice..

according to the Lonely Planet guidebook that i borrowed from the Stockholm library.. there is a rather cheap restaurant in the New Town.. outside the Old Town that offers cheap buffet lunches.. thus we proceeded over there..
and yes indeed its cheap.. for 75EEK (Estonian Krooni) abt 10+ Sing dollars, we get a good lunch buffet


My first round of many more rounds to come.. some small crispy, nice tasty chicken wings, some pork n stuff..

We r finally done.. it was a good meal.. filling n satisfied.. we expected some service charge included when the bill came but to our surprise, there was none.. just 75EEK as stated in the menu.. no hidden charges nothing.. haha GOOD!

For the first time, we left tips for a restaurant or anything.. not much thou.. abt 5EEK in total .. less than 1 Sing dollars.. cheapskates yeap maybe but hey we r only students..

The restaurant, Eesti Maja..

Old Watchtowers from the past...




THe Old City Wall.. the real one.. haha

Flower market..

MacDonald's in Tallinn.. they r EVERYWHERE.. haha


Dom started toking abt the Big Mac index.. where the price of the Big Mac r used by economists to gauge a country's std of living.. since it is pretty much pegged to it.. in Stockholm, one could get a set meal for abt 50kr (which is abt 10+ Sing dollars) here in Tallinn.. it costs 42 EEK accoridng to the ad above.. (which is abt 6+ Sing dollars) abt the same price as Singapore's Mac set meal..
a unique bike..

Kiek in de Kok Tower (whcih means "Peep in the kitchen" in German) dont noe why though.. didnt go n see.

More pics of the Old Town..

We went to a pastry shop to buy some dinner.. haha

Safety instructions.. have to wrap yourself up in a thermal covering..

I went back to my cabin n was flipping thru a Tallinn tourist info book when i realised wat did i missed!! Non stop striptease.. haha n the comment on the guide book says
" Non-stop striptease, beautiful Estonian girls. Wide selection of drinks. Male strippers for the ladies in a separate room. Only we have 100% striptease! 100% secure."
