Pirita, Pirita, Pirita, Pirita, Pirita, Pirita, After Pritia!

Pirita is a suburb of Tallinn that sits properly on the sea. Tallinn has no real river running through it just the Pirita in the north, the Gulf of Tallinn which it sits on having proven miles more useful for trade then a river ever could. Pirita have a beach, a rather nice beach and it smells. The smell isn't always there but when it is...well it's like an open sewer mixed with fish. The view is very nice and I'd never discourage a Tallinn visitor from seeing it but you need a peg or something.

We walked out onto the harbor walls and watched some kids sail and windsurf. On the way back we got the wrong bus and ended getting an accidental guided tour of a couple of Tallinn's suburbs.

When we finally got back into town we attempted to go to a cafe that was situated in an old prison by the sea, it was fairly long walk, especially to discover that it wasn't open on Tuesdays.

On the night we went to an English pub for a Quiz. Winning was voluntary. We chose not to.
