Day 8 - Journey to Tallinn

A lazy day with not a whole lot to do except get ourselves north to Tallinn. We made some rest stops, then crossed the border into Estonia. Again, the border was nothing. There was a rest stop at the border, so I walked back and took some pictures from the line. 20 years ago, I may have been shot for doing this, but now, it's "who cares?".
We drove north on the Gulf of Riga coast to Parnu, and had lunch at a cute little restaurant in an old converted post office building. Walking into town, I stopped at the ATM to get some Euros. Oops, my card won't work. Who knows why? I'll try to check later. Further north, we arrive in Tallinn, on the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland. This is a VERY wired city. Actually wireless. There are free connections everywhere.
We take a little walk into the old town for dinner at the Garlic Restaurant. It's actually very good except for the garlic beer. The setting sun made for some great pictures. Perhaps I can even upload some, as I have learned to take a few pictures with the iPad camera as well as the SLR. It seems Google doesn't like 8MB files....
Now it is Wednesday, and I'm still at the hotel as I have caught the bug, and am coughing and hacking. Ann will provide the details later for today's tour...
