Member no. 5 assisting to fill the case with local souvenirs


Member no. 8 insisting to "go another corner, the restaurant is right behind the old city tower" ...


The mandatory picture about "Peaceful co-existence and friendship between the people for the betterment of international peace and progress"


Battle of ideologies like "writing on the wall"


A QTH that we did not buy


Central Square = lots of restaurants filled with cruise liner passangers = bad timing for us


Meeting closed @ Restaurant Karl Friedrich = Salud !


Then to a herbal store; "this way yes yes "


... after couple of blocks walk, another advice "this way yes yes = just the opposite way"


Aaah, herbal medicine (not from any specialty store, but Tallinn Ulikooli Apteek Viru Keskus, next to Viru Hotel !)


QTP Helsinki - size does matter at sea !


Homecoming to Helsinki - We had a nice day in Tallin !
