The Times we had in Tallinn

I travelled to the Tallinn with my school and our ship company was Eckerö Line. The ship left Helsinki from West Terminal and it arrived to the A-terminal in Tallinn. In terminals there was a little kioskies and other shops.

First we had a breakfast buffet on the ship. I had never before use Eckerö Line as a ship company. This was my first time. I saw the ship were much more smaller than for example Tallink or Viking Line. For the breakfast we had different kind of eggs, bacon, thin pancakes, frankfurts, different kind of fruits and something to dessert. 

After breakfast we went to the ship’s conference room. There ship’s restaurant manager told us about the company and the M/S Finlandia ship itself. The company will repair the ship. They will build a bigger conference room and another rooms to the ship. They are also planning to have more seats to there. Next year they will also fix M/S Finlandia’s timetable.
Jippey we are in Tallinn now.

Our sightseeing bus.
When we arrived to Tallinn we had first a two-hours bus sightseeing. We had couple stops where our guide told more about the places and we had a chance to watch places peacefully.

Orthodox Church of St.Nicholas
My lovely Liila! <3 Here we are in Tallinn!
What I learned from our guide is that, when you are a guide you should always wait your group. Our guide didn’t always wait for that all the group is in front of her before she started to speak. But that’s a little thing anyway. After all everything went good.

Old town.
We had two stops in this sightseeing. First was in Tallinn's lookout spot. There you can see text 'The Times we had' text on the wall.

Next stop was in Kadriorg Park. I had been there before and it is a beautiful park mostly at summer. "The Estonian president’s residence and many foreign embassies are located here. The park is one of the favourite spots for walking of Tallinners young and old. But Kadriorg is famed mostly for its baroque palace and park ensemble, begun in 1718 as the summer palace for the family of Russian tsar Peter I." - Tourism Tallinn

Kadriorg Palace. First time I saw this building I didn't realize this the palace. I was looking for it, but expect it will be much more elegant. I tought there is some gold in it, but this really was a little disappointment.

But there is a nice park anyway.

KUMU museum
After our sightseeing our group had an hour time to eat and after it we were supposed to go visit to Swissotel Hotel. We went to the Amarillo and there was ten of us. We made our orders and we ate in one hour. It was fast, because there was so many of us. But I see it is possible in Tallinn to have fast service.

Then we visited in Swissotel. There our guide was a young girl who was a little bit nervous. She presents hotel to us. In hotel there is thirty floors, so it is a high building. She told us that hotel’s president suite is almost as big as a little house could be. In this suite had visit Lady Gaga, Barack Obama and other famous people.

Hotel’s restaurant is on the thirtieth floor and it is also famous place to have a romantic dinner. From this floor you can see a whole Tallinn and more. It’s worth it.

30th floor

I love this sofa! :)






A conference room
After Swissotel we had some free time and first we went to the Viru Centre. After it we visited in Old Town and then we went to the Rotterman. I was just so tired and I had pain in my feets. Hu.

Our last visiting place was Tallink Spa & Conference Hotel. I had been there before. I love the spa in there. It's big and you can also go swim outside. Water is warm and it is intresthing to swim when it's so cold like almost zero degrees outside.  In the spa there is also spa where you can buy different kind of drinks if you like.

We also visited in suites. There was four different kind of suites: French, Arabian, Cosmos and Metropolian suites. My favorites were Arabian and French suites! :)
