We started by taking the cruise ship Baltic Queen to Tallinn and on the way we were joined by Peter's brother and his wife. Very nice! The trip was not completely problem-free though.

One of the best things about travelling is discovery. Going on unplanned hikes and seeing what you find. That's exactly what we did the day before yesterday! While waiting for the ferry to leave for Stockholm, we went exploring in Tallinn harbour. And that tour was more interesting than we could have imagined!
