The last day of the cruise we went to Tallinn, Estonia. It is really well known for the well preserved "Old Town" where medieval towers and walls still stand. It was incredible to see the history. The whole town was pretty picturesque and it was wonderful just to walk around. The streets were all cobblestone and the old houses and shops were so quaint. We saw and got to go inside St. Olaf's Church. It has a really tall steeple that has been hit by lightening a ton but they keep rebuilding it anyways. It now serves as a Baptist church and we got to go in for part of their service. It was really sweet.
We got to walk around and on Medieval ground. It was incredible to think that it has all been preserved for so long. On street that we walked us was cobblestone and the walls were stone on one side and back walls to houses on the other. Artists put up their pictures and displayed them to sell on the side with the bricks. I loved the feeling of that street even though it was all uphill. It was a really cold day and the food in the touristy places was all really expensive so we kept going till we found a local place that served awesome roasted cheese soup and pasta! Just so you know... the bread they give you in Estonia before you get your food is not free, they charge for that.
We went to the old town well because apparently they used to think that an evil spirit lived there so they would sacrifice cats to the spirit in the well to pacify it. They had a small ladder going down the well- so what did we do? Climb down for pictures of course!!! It was a ton of fun!
