Estonia

We eventually got onto the bus and we were on our way to Estonia. The land of very beautiful people. It's about the only thing you hear from people when they mention Estonia. They were right!! =) Anyways we got in closer to dinner and were famished! The hotel receptionist recommended we had dinner at this chill out restaurant-bar.

The food is really good here. And the presentation was perfect. They had these little plates and all which we slanted inwards, so that the food were literally facing you. Everything was great except for the music. What's with Baltic music anyway? Can't seem to get it right huh! There was this guy using a MAC, churning out techno sounds which sounded HORRIBLE.

Okay so this was hilarious. It's not quite what it seems, but at first glance - come on, you've gotta admit that it's quite funny right? I think it's a musuem about some Estonian heritage. Not quite sure. =O)


We visited the Occupational Musuem which was really good! Probably the best of sights we've been. Spent a few hours in there watching the videos which showed Estonia under the Communist rule. A very painful time for the Estonians. Well, to show our distaste for communism, especially my learned friend, Mr Jonny Boy, here are some stoopid photos of Lenin.

We had some really good authentic Estonian food as well. We had dinner at this place which served fantastic MEATS. Much to Susian's displeasure! But I had the Pork Knuckles. So GOOD and so FAT. Biting into the skin was like drinking oil. Imagine it - SO GOOD. We went over to have some drinks after, which were, admittedly, quite horrible. One of the rare times where Jon orders a bad drink. Haha!
