Tallinn, Estonia - the Real-Life Medieval Fair, Tallinn, Estonia

When arriving in Estonia, I was feeling pretty exhausted. It was already late in the day and I had been travelling non-stop for five days already (not that I’m complaining). Plus, to make things a bit worse, the weather looked awful. I could see the heavy and dark clouds getting closer as we approached Tallin. It was a long bus ride from Riga, where the sun was shining. And once I stepped outside the coach, it started pouring massively.

Luckily the bus stop where I had to go to get the bus to the hostel where I was staying was close. Found shelter in there. When the bus finally came the rain got worse. But again I was lucky. Nature decided to pour everything out while I was inside the bus. So the moment I stepped outside the sun was peeking and no tears were being cried by the skies.

As I said, I ended up arriving quite late in the day to Tallinn. It was past 5pm when I got the coach station, and almost 6pm when I got to my hostel. The weather wasn’t in its friendliest mood, so it was darker than what’s supposed to be outside at that time of the day.

With the imminent threat of rain, I stepped outside and started to explore the magnificent old town. The first thing I thought was that I had really travelled in time. it was as if I was in a real-life medieval fair. Despite aching feet, I was in love. ......
