Tallin, Estonia

Tallin was our first experience of Estonia, a walled medieval city full of interesting architecture, churches and fortifications. We camped at the marina where the European Youth Championships were being held, memories of many years ago.

Additionally we visited the 'Seaplane Museum',  giving an insight into both the military history of Estonia and viking life.

The marina and a brief glimpse of sunshine.

The seaplane museum included a range of yachts including this 470, the same class of yacht Gretel sailed in the world championships in 1981.
