It is ridiculously easy and cheap to travel to Estonia from Finland. It's just across the Gulf of Finland and it takes 2,5 hours to cross it. And 20 bucks for a round-trip... Yeah, told you it was cheap.
Surprisingly, I don't travel to Estonia often. I've been there a ton of times, so it's not really a big deal to go there. It doesn't even feel like I'm going abroad. Go figure.
Yesterday I traveled to Tallinn, Estonia's Capital city, with my friend H. We wanted to go see the Titanic Exhibition that's being hosted by Tallinn until Monday. You can read more about the exhibit here.
The Old Town of Tallinn is really beautiful, and it was our first stop of the day. It's only a stone throw away from the harbor and really easy to get to. We had lunch at an Italian restaurant called Controvento. I'd been there before, their food is delicious! We even lucked out with the beautiful, sunny weather :)
From Old Town we walked to Lennusadam (Seaplane Harbor) where the exhibition was held. We took a couple of wrong turns but found the place eventually.
The guests were given a boarding pass to Titanic that served as the ticket. Each pass included a name of an actual passenger who had been on the Titanic. Mine was Nella Wiggins, and she was a 1st class passenger traveling with her husband. They both survived.
Under the clock.
1st class cabin.
3rd class cabin.
Some plates collected from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. All in all the exhibition presented 150+ artifacts recovered from the wreck.
It was definitely worth visiting and I'm happy I got the chance to go. If you live close by and get the chase before Monday, you should go, too! :)
Now I think I might have to watch the movie some day soon... Cry fest it is!
We headed back to the harbor after the exhibition and killed time at a café. After that we checked out a liquor store and left with a ton of Milka chocolate. AH... I'm set for a while now ;)
I went to work today but have the entire weekend off! I am going to enjoy that to the fullest. Hope all you lovelies have a good one, too! <3
