Estonia: Tallinn

Tallinn is in many ways similar to Riga, it's about the same size, has an old town that people rarely venture out of and is famous for stag nights. The stag night scene is kind of dead now, I haven't seen one since I've got to the Baltic.

Tallinn's old town is however very difficult to navigate. Most the maps we were given aren't proper maps rather cartoony ones that have actual buildings drawn one. The problem with most of these is that the top of the map often isn't north causing mass confusion. It impossible to navigate the place anyway, half of it's on a hill, many streets can't be seen from other streets and some don't have names on the maps.

We have carried one in much the same vein as Riga, done some light drinking, its not as cheap, wondered around getting stressed at banks, eating crap Russian dumplings and then decided to go to a water park. All pretty standard for us really.
