When you arrive back at your hostel as people are thinking about getting up its a fair sign you don’t wake till the afternoon, and that’s just what happened. Surfacing in the early afternoon I wearily dragged myself to the shower before heading out for the closest food vendor to satisfy my all-night-drinking-fest-hunger. Once refueled I set off to take in the sights of Tallinn one last time before my […]

A Museum and a Splash of Vodka
Having extended my stay in Tallinn I was unsure what was next on the to do list.

Departing the hostel I dumped my gear at my hosts place before wandering off into town […]

To make things worse it was about 6:30AM and I still had to find my hostel before I could begin to relax. Jumping ship and heading off to the tram that would deliver me in the vicinity of my hostel I was surprisingly joyful. My decision […]
