Ok, So I really enjoyed being in Riga. People I had talked to said that they didn't really enjoy it that much, but it seemed to have a really cool atmosphere and lots of stuff to do. The Old Town was a good mixture of old but modern (including shopping! haha)

We left Riga on Sunday and took a bus up to Tallinn. the bus was pretty crazy - it had free coffee, really comfy seats, and then free wifi internet on top of all of that! We got to Tallinn and checked into the hostel, which is really quiet but nice and in a good location. Tallinn is very Scandinavian, and very large. You could definitely spend many days just wandering around all of the alleyways here. There are also lots of cool little shops and cafe's. One is absolutely amazing! It is like a little hobbit hole - low ceilings, random crooks in the wall, and its from the 1800s. We also went to eat at this medeival resteraunt in town, where they serve things like wild boar and bear. I had lamb, which was amazing!

Tomorrow we are taking a ferry to Helsinki, where we will be until May 9ish.
