Tallinn

21/06/2009

A post of few words today.

Mr C and I spent a lovely weekend in Tallinn with his work colleagues. Most of our time was in or around the Old Town which is a fine example of a medieval town complete with fairy-tale towers and town walls.

Strong Russian influences were also very prominent. This cathedral was built to remind Tallinn of the Tsarist rule from Russia in the early 1900s. As you can see though the weather didn't always oblige for my photographs.

The journey up to the top of the Town Hall tower certainly made my legs burn, especially since the depth of some of the steps is so great. The view from the top is well worth it though.

In amongst all the traditional town buildings are some slightly strange architectural sights. I'm not sure of the story behind this one, but the strong Egyptian, slightly art-deco look attracted a fair bit of attention.

This restaurant window box made me smile as we walked through the old town.

The art inside our hotel was a little strange though. All the corridors, and apparently all the rooms, had different pictures featuring this strange character in railway surroundings. The hotel was next to the train station. but beyond that I'm lost for an explanation. Having this one hanging above our bed was quite surreal!
