A quick escape with the family to Tallinn. It always amazes me hw much the city and whole country have changed in past fifteen years. My first visit was in springtime 1992, when the Estonia had just got back its indepence. Each visit after that have shown incredible development in infrasturcture, landscape, economy, etc...
This summer the novelty was the huge number of tourist from large Baltic cruise ships visiting day in Tallinn old town. There were large groups at least from Italy, Germany, USA, UK and Japan. Maybe due this huge number of internatonal travellers with variable language skills, even my terrible Estonian was received well in local shops and bars - although The Estonians in Tallinn speak generally way much better Finnish that I can do Estonian.
