Tallinn in Twenty Photos Europe » Estonia » Tallinn By AirMail June 19th 2007 Josh & AliciaPhotos from our day trip to Tallinn's Old City.

Despite our constant sneezing and sniffling, we managed to fully explore Salzburg's Old Town and even venture out to Werfen, where we took a tour of the Ice Caves. The Old Town was one of the nicest we have been to so far, and quite compact, so it was easy for us to walk around to all the wonderful sights. The Ice Caves, however, have to be our highlight ... read more
