Back in Tallinn now, after two nights in Helsinki. Had a lovely sunny day there to visit the open air museum at Soerasaari, old houses, barns and farmsteads, beautifully set on a forested island. Very different style from those in the Baltic states.
Then a stroll around central Helsinki admiring the rather stately buildings and the botanic gardens.
Not a lot of great interest, even one of the highlights on the "Visit Helsinki" website is a day trip to Tallinn! Found Helsinki very Scandinavian - expensive and difficult to buy alcohol. Wouldn't recommend it for a city break but glad we went.
It rained all day when we left, and really surprised how many people were on the ferry, obviously some on a "booze cruise" as midsummer festivities are only a few days away and alcohol is much cheaper in Estonia.
