Estonia

I've spend the last weekend in Estonia.
We took the ship at 10:30 and the crossing lasted 2:00. So, at 12:30 we were in Tallinn, the Estonia's capital. Tallinn occupies an area of 159,2 km² and 32% of the estonians lives in this city. Tallinn is also listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its numerous towers.
I came in the orthodox Church of Tallinn : Alexandre Nevski cathedral. It was very beautiful, outside like Inside. So much ornaments, gilt and all that stuff.



We also visited the Museum "Kiek in Kök Bastionikäigud". It was about the history of Tallinn, the differents weapons used....And they was a good views of the city because it was in a kind of donjon.



Then, the 'old city' is just very cute. The houses are paint with pastel colors and it looks like a little village even if there is the 'real' city very near.





The second day, with Anni we went to the shopping center during the morning and after this, we join her parents to go to an other museum. This one was also about weapons but there was more explications about the creation of Tallinn and generations across the ages.
