To Tallinn

We have just started our first real day of the trip! After a VERY long trip, Sheryl and I were relieved to get off the plan in Tallinn. Getting into the country was very simple, so simple that we thought for sure we had done something wrong! When we got off the plane we went to get our luggage and walked out. There was no customs, no immigration...they didn't look at our passports and sadly, we have no stamp in our passports. We asked the lady at the currency exchange if there was customs or anything, and she smiled, looked amused, and said No.
We navigated the bus system and found our way to the hostel pretty easily. I was a little worried that it would be a long walk, but the scale on the map is HUGE! This really is a small city and it is very easy to walk everywhere...on incredibly old cobblestone.
The weather is perfect, around 20 degrees and nice and moist, but not too humid. The wind is warm too, which makes all the difference. I was going to try and post some pictures, but I don't think that I can at this cafe. Maybe next time.
We went to the tourist information centre and found a bunch of stuff to look through. I think that we are going to spend the rest of the day exploring and make a plan for the rest of the week.
