1 Week in Tallinn

We flew a long way to one of the oldest historical places in Europe. When we found out that Captain Cactus and his wife Betsy were not purchasing the Kajsamoor, we decided to make the most of the week we had reserved in Tallinn. It was definitely heart-breaking at first, but what choice did we have other than to stay positive and believe that we are on our way to something even greater?Â
The adventure continues and we will share more on that soon, but first, here are some of our favorite photos from our tour in Tallinn. Enjoy!
The beautiful Kajsamoor that did not work out as planned, but brought us here so we made the most of exploring her home port!
Well that's a different perspective!
Looking out over the Baltic Sea.
Had to put my toes in the Baltic! Not too cold in the shallows. Felt similar to Monterey Bay.
At the Seaplane Musueum, we explored the inside of submarine "Lembit," built in 1936.
Baffled by so many valves and lockers and hatches and pipes!
Kadriorg Palace & Art Museum.
Change of guard duty at the Office of the President.
Beautiful (and very symmetrical) Palace grounds.
More Palace grounds.
Heading into Old Town.
St. Catherine's Passage, Old Town.
Medieval walkway in Old Town.
Outside of a little artisan shop. I love the flowers in all the windows.
Hotel Telegraaf built in 1878 first as a 4-story house, later becoming a main center of communications between 1918-1992...then finally a hotel in 2007.
Random Sean Connery statue and trippy camera effect!
Patarei Merekindlus...A sea prison built in the tsar era, then a Soviet prison from 1919 to 2004. Now an abandoned battery.
More of this abandoned prison that is a monument for victims of communism and Nazism.
Sun came out long enough to put some stripe shadows across Brad's chest, not quite as many as the graffitiied prisoner next to him.
