People always ask us if our travel plans are preset or if we “go with the flow” in picking our destinations. The answer is that it’s both; a few places we have set itineraries, locations or events we need to be somewhere by, but the other half we do on a whim or by suggestion of the people we’ve met along the way. Estonia was in the latter category.

Everyone said we had to visit, especially Tallinn, the capital city. We heard descriptions of a thriving city, for techies & hipsters alike, set amongst the old medieval backdrop of European fortresses & Soviet architecture. We decided if there was all this fuss about it, there must be something worth seeing so why not pop in for a visit? We were certainly not disappointed.
