Each mother and wife have a place where it breaks away from family ordinary. For me, they remain the capital of Estonia. Parents decided to get married in this magnificent city, and I first realized that they fell in love with real. A witnessed of two landmark events was the upper city, which places to romantic recognition and hobbies. Hence the soul, really, I want to take off.
The last time I went to Relax in Tallinn in 2006. Settled in the habit of the cozy and inexpensive hotel "Taanininna". How he is now doing, I do not know. Quickly unpacked things, took a shower and - for a walk along the route, which laid the Finns, often coming here to rest angrily and cheaply: the oldest European pharmacy, the tower "Long German" and "Tussal Margarita", the Church of Olevist. The center is lined with a paving, walking in which gives a remarkable load on the muscles. Free sports with cute surprises.
I love Tallinn for the ability to meet the morning with a slight musical rain, under which tired marshrons are so nice to dry, drink coffee with a noble local liqueur and "peat" cake, dream. If you can not sleep, you can, throwing a slight jacket or a sewer, go for a fabulous Lane of Katharina (Switzerland "in the sensational foxheop about Stirlitz). Then have breakfast in the cozy "Landerma" (Majasmokk).
Tallinn is very attractive for such sweets like me. All national desserts are good, but heavy. In incredible quantities absorb only hot almonds, soaked in sugar sauce with cinnamon. It is convenient that it is sold on the streets, with carts. Tasty nuts usually traded cute boys and girls in ethnic suits. Tastier is preparing his chefs of the network "Old Hans."
However, not wonderful almonds and not an exquisite marzipan "Kalev" united ... I never miss the case to go on a bike to Hiyumaa Island, hide a couple of troops around the editor of the meteorite. After sitting on the ferry and go to the famous Beach of Pyrita, Manygoing swimming-sun swimming amazing white sand. One day dedicate to communicating with Estonian waterfalls. Going there on a flight bus, carefully holding a huge basket for a picnic.
In Tallinn, you forget about everyday problems, but you feel in the native country. Even if you go to the "Velin Club" or "Terrarium", which support European advanced nightlife trends. The usual interior, the mass of the same girls-boys (not to distinguish from ours), familiar music and ... Slavic heart cuisine.
On the last day, I again hurry in the catarina alley, but no longer admire the pictures from the life of medieval Europe, and dive into shopping. Always bring it from here Funny knitted "bayrafts" (long caps-caps), amber decorations and readiness for new tests.
