Ahh, yes. Tallinn! The unknown... There was no serious snow in latvia when we moved. Simple dark cold. Before border a small place with strong thindering train sounds and a shop were our last click off and leaving Latvia. Border... Couple of parked trucks, lights off in police buildings, not a living soul on site - ghost city. And than the first encounter with Estonians... Our car lost control and we were off the road in the deep, deep snow... Yes, i said - not a serious snow in Latvia. Couple minutes after entering another country it became really serious... But, a kind fireman brigade truck was passing by, and with a bit of Russian, a bit of gestures, arms power joined - our wheels were back on road! Well, there was road under that 6cm of snow... With tropic rhytms in a car, we grabbed Tallinn...
A long entering street was a fairytale - wooden, pretty houses covered with sparkling snow, hills of whiteness all around... And than - trams! Same as in my home town! Same noise, same instability, same stickers with "Made in Czechoslovakia"(I checked later...)!!!! People were nice and polite, there was no difference after we asked the sixt person for directions... All went smooth, like on ice. ;)
Event that we organized went out pretty well, I would say, Estonians we met there have the links to tropical tunes, no doubt.
Day after we tried a nice Estonian coffee as we enjoyed walking through the old town on the hill... At least I understood that coffee was Estonian... Hosts, thanks! Export some politeness, please! =)
Visu labu, friends! Your faithful... Marko =)
