More in Tallinn



We stopped to read a notice about an old timber building.  Several people were going in, so being curious I followed and found it was a pub serving food.  We stopped for a beer and ended up witha. Full meal.  Great atmosphere and, as everywhere else in Estonia, were surprised at the provision of play space for children.


Other things we remember was the string quartet called the Insomniacs, we never discovered why, but they were good, performing in a oalace built by Peter the Great.  Where did he not build a palace?  Also a gallery of Estonian art and the Dance of Death in the St Nicholas Church.  There were several done in the Middle Ages, showing Death dancing with everyone, from the Pope downwards, though emperors, cardinals, bishops, kings and onwards down to the lowliest person.  Only a small section of this one remains.


Sadly we only had a short time here.  Debbie flew back to England and we cycled on with George.
