Touring in Tallinn

We didn't have much time in Tallinn -- just a little over two days -- so we made the most of it by taking a guided walking tour, then walking around on our own, and even taking those dreaded Hop-on Hop-off buses.  We are used to "slow travel" so this was a whirlwind tour for us!  We learned a lot about Tallinn's impressive history, and had a chance to see most of the main tourist attractions despite only being here a brief time.

Here are some highlights:

Tallin's 14-century town wall is 3 meters thick in some places

Here we are at the Great Coastal Gate

Creepy monk sculptures in the Danish King's Garden

Paks Margareeta, a massive 16th-century defensive tower affectionately known as "Fat Margaret"

Saint Catherine's Passage
