The ferry from Stockholm was more of a cruise liner than a ferry (just with massive car and truck decks as well) it came complete with cabaret, disco ( open til 6am – I didn’t check) and quite a range of restaurants. I almost wanted the journey is be longer than 15 hours. But we arrived in Tallin by 10am and I loaded up the bike again and joined the exodus form the ferry.
As it turned out there 4 Cruise ships in town today so the old city was quite crowded with a considerable variety of languages spoken by the tour guide. I even hear Australian!
But the good thing about Cruise ships is that they get their passengers on board ready for departure and so by afternoon, the crowds were gone.
As ever there are small hiccups In a day. I could not get a cellular connection and in my efforts to do so, I somehow locked my phone – dooh! But a call to Telecom in NZ via Skype unlocked the phone but it turns out there’s no roaming agreement between the two countries. It’s an unusual feeling not having a working mobile….
