Estonia (click here for the video)

After my (at least I thought) heroics with the Banya and icy lake the thought of a sluething challenge seemed quite appealing to me. I arrived after a relatively short journey of 6hrs in the capitol of Estonia (Tallin) in the international bus station freezing my butt off. I had packed for summer and was wearing shorts and t-shirt and it was now well into Autumn in Northern-Europe.

I thankfully found a taxi quite quickly, which took me to a local hostel, and I climbed into bed to warm-up. My first day, I spent trying to up-date this blog. I had broken my camera in Loas, and was using only my video camera to get stills from, but no computers had the capability to download video so I couldn't use frames off it to use as pictures. After a fun evening with fellow travellers I took to the city in search of my mystery statue, which someone had sent me a picture of and told me to find.

I found a tourist info centre and asked if they knew where this statue might be, hoping they might at least be able to give me some clues to it's location. "Yes, it's just round the corner" they tell me. It couldn't have been easier, and to be honest - I'm not sure if it was a little bit of a cheat me asking them. Well, never mind, I found the statue (although, I did manage to get lost for half an hour, even though they'd given me a map with the statue marked on it) it was 200m from the info centre.

So, not too much to report, except Tallin has a beautiful old city in the centre, and I'm in need of buying some winter clothes, as I'm starting to get stared at in shorts and T-shirts while all the locals are wearing trousers, jackets and scarves. Task completed.
