| Streets inside the walled city of Tallinn, Estonia |
September 7, Tallinn Estonia. Today we are at the capital of Estonia and we have scheduled a food tasting tour of the town. We are met at the exit of the cruise ship port by our guide Anne and our driver. We first go to the upper town to tour where the nobility lived and now the home to government. The cathedral and old palaces are very impressive.

We continue our walk to the lower town which was were the merchants lived and worked. We are joined by the other 5 people on our tour where we discover all of us are from California. Our first stop is the pepper stock restaurant where we have pumpkin and parsnip soup with honey and pepper schnapps. we proceed to the Rvel for lamb dumplings and buckthorn juice. We wash that down with chocolates. We do a bit of walking and visit the oldest pharmacy in Europe to have a bit of medicinal treats. We visit historic Strutts restaurant for spiced sprats sandwiches which have pickled herring, tomatoes and cucumber, not our taste.

We finish our tour by going to a local market as the sky closes in for rain we are inside. We have a coffee. At another shop we get a local lemon curd in and ice cream cone, a healthy alternative. We toured the market and are picked up for a short ride to our ship and some rest. We really enjoyed Tallinn and learning a little about Estonia.
