In episode 11 of our travels around Europe we explore the fascinating and beautiful city of Tallinn. We stay in the 15th century St Olav's hotel and explore the architecture, food and drink on offer in this vibrant little town.

@@mstephens99 It seems you were provided inacurate information. And judging by that story about the ladies in wide skirts not able or willing to get past each other on narrow allyways you were spun quite a yarn. Let me take a wild guess here: was it one of those costumed tossers who take tourists for a proverbial ride in the Tallinn Old Town, literally inventing stuff to appear "entertaining"?

Yes, but Russians, who can speak english or estonian are pro-estonian. Only small number of only russian speaking russians are pro russians 😊.

The free internet as a human right is a myth. It is not in the constitution. We have good wifi connection, that is true. But the constitution deals with more poetic stuff that internet. Like the reason for declaring the Estonian Republic in the first place was the protection and maintaining of the Estonian language and culture. Stuff like that.

What the f..k is Tallin???? It is called Tallinn. It is important for various reasons. The Russians called us like that. It is completely incorrect because Tallinn means Danish town, and linn means town. Lin means nothing. Why on earth are you going through Valga? There are direct buses from Riga to Tallinn, every hour at least. It did not look like you were going through Valga at all, so what were you talking about? NO, Freedom did not come in 1991. It came in 1918. The glass monument is to that 1918 war of independence and the declaration of independence that came before the war. That declaration was forever and it was in 1918 not the 90-ies. 1918, Feb 24 is the birth of the Republic of Estonia, not any other date. in 1991 we just got rid of the error of Soviet occupation but we never stopped existing in the meantime. The Declaration of the Estonian republic took place in Pärnu, the city where you stopped on your trip from Riga. And you even passed the Endla Theatre with the bus. It was read from its balcony, on the evening before Feb 24, 1918. The glass monument cist a lot more than 6 million. Plus the everyday cost of electricity as it is all lit in the dark. And we have a lot of darkness

@@user-zy1vp2sw9c apologies that my poor pronunciation has offended you. Re route - was that Google map’s representation of the route that you are referring to? We took a direct bus from Riga to Tallin! The info I shared was what was shared to me by a guide. BTW - Context - we are 2 retirees simply sharing our travels and not Documentary makers!!

But the percentage of Russians is not 44. Definitely not. 30% the most
