Over the May holidays, Tom and I went to Tallinn, Estonia and Helsinki, Finland. We took a half-day at work and flew Estonian Air to Tallinn, then took a ferry across the Baltic Sea to Helsinki. We flew Ukrainian International back to Kyiv. It was a trip filled with light nights, lots of yummy food, and English-speakers! Here are some pictures of our sightseeing in Tallinn.
We visited a pharmacy museum that still functions as a pharmacy today. It was established in 1422 and the museum had lots of old bottles, mechanisms and machines that were once used to help treat people. They also had a book of historical items used to treat ailments. They even used the "human organism" to help with treatments.
This is Fat Margaret Tower that is located near the port end of town. Tom is posing here to help show the size of the bastion. The Tallinn Maritime museum is housed inside.
