What fun it is to discover something unexpected and pleasant. Tallinn was totally unknown to me and therefore was a pleasant surprise. We started with a walking tour through its Old town through its two totally different parts:Upper Town and Lower Town. Tallinn was once a free trading town, a member of the Hanseatic League. We see vestiges of this in its guild houses, warehouses, unique Town Hall in Gothic style and Churches with charming slender towers.We visited the Dome church and observation platform where a great view opens over the city.

After having lunch at a local restaurant, we returned to the ship and heard Kristof's next lecture ❇Monarchy in Scandinavia❇ We then had time to rest and change into formal clothes for our second formal night at dinner.
