Monday 26th July.  Alex has finally made it home after 3 weeks, 15 countries and 6060 miles. See the Diary page for full details.
Ironically it is exactly a year since John and Gerry returned from their trip.

 


Day 14. Thursday 15th July. Off to Tallinn today.

Up at 9am, good breakfast before going downtown again to the open air market.  Traders there from the early hours of the morning.  Some wonderful woollen garments and craftwork but because of the limited space on the bike I had to deny myself.  Had a bit to eat there and walked around the outer quays to see the icebreakers laid up for the summer.  I took some photos with my phone, not sure of the quality though.  Boarded ferry and was in Tallin and my hotel by 5pm. About an hour and three quarters crossing for 32Euros.  Very good hotel, a little out of town but near Joeys monument.  I hope to get there tomorrow.  Quick taxi journey into city railway station to book train to St Petersburg.  No train on Saturday because its not an even number date so off to bus station.  I booked a ticket for the St Petersburg bus on Saturday morning.  Wandered about the city looking at both modern and historic buildings.  Finally, I had enough and got a taxi to the hotel.  Shower, a little TV then bed and a sound sleep.
