<\/a>\nTuristien suosima Olde Hansa-ravintola
\nl\u00e4hes Vanhan kaupungin portilla.
\nMe emme k\u00e4yneet t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 vaan Le Chateau’ssa\/<\/strong><\/span>
\nAlmost at the gate of the Old Town, tourist’s
\nfavourite restaurant Olde Hansa.
\nWe didn’t go here, but to Le Chateau.

Tallinna on ollut vilkas kauppapaikka jo ammoisilta ajoilta. Nyt sit\u00e4 kansoittaa ymp\u00e4rivuotinen turismi joka oli paikoin jo hieman h\u00e4iritsev\u00e4\u00e4. Matkamuistomyym\u00e4l\u00f6it\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyi joka ikisest\u00e4 korttelista eik\u00e4 kaduilla voinut liikkua kahta metri\u00e4 kuulematta jotakin muuta kielt\u00e4 kuin viroa tai ven\u00e4j\u00e4\u00e4. Toisaalta t\u00e4m\u00e4 on tietysti hyv\u00e4 asia siksi ett\u00e4 palvelua saa mm. englanniksi l\u00e4hes joka paikassa. Muutenkin ihmiset ovat varsin yst\u00e4v\u00e4llisi\u00e4 ja juttelevatkin mielell\u00e4\u00e4n niit\u00e4 n\u00e4it\u00e4. Heit\u00e4 ei ujostuta k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 heikompaakaan englanninkielt\u00e4, toisin kuin suomalaisia.<\/p>\n
Vintage-harrastajille kerrottakoon ett\u00e4 vintage-kauppoja on aika turha etsi\u00e4. Vanhasta Kaupungista l\u00f6ytyy liike nimelt\u00e4 Oh so Retro Tallinn, mutta saimme tiedon t\u00e4st\u00e4 vasta kun olimme jo suuntaamassa takaisin hotellille ja paluulautalle. T\u00e4m\u00e4n liikkeen katsastus siis j\u00e4\u00e4 seuraavaan kertaan. Kierr\u00e4tettyj\u00e4 perusvaatteita l\u00f6ytyy muutamista hyv\u00e4ntekev\u00e4isyys-kaupoista (kuten Humana Estonia josta l\u00f6ytyi per\u00e4ti huikea 1,5 metrin rekillinen ys\u00e4rimekkoja ja j\u00e4rjet\u00f6n m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4 farkkuja)<\/strong> ja yksityisist\u00e4 second hand-liikkeist\u00e4. Antiikki-liikkeit\u00e4 sen sijaan on paljon, mutta niiss\u00e4 my\u00f6s hinnat varsin korkeat, tuotteista riippuen toki. Vanhat valokuvat olivat verrattain edullisia ja kirjadivarissa vanhat k\u00e4sity\u00f6lehdet aika edukkaita. Tosin 70-lukua vanhempia lehti\u00e4 voi olla vaikea l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n IN ENGLISH<\/strong><\/span> Tallinn has been busy merchant place for hundreds of years. Now it is populated by all-year-round tourism, which is pretty disturbing in places. You can find souvenir shop in pretty much every corner and you can’t really walk more than two meters without hearing some other language than estonian or russian. On the other hand, it is good thing because you get service in english pretty much everywhere. And people are very friendly and love to chat. They are not shy to use even the poor english, unlike the finns.<\/p>\n To all you vintage enthusiasts, Tallinn isn’t very good when it comes to vintage-shops. Apparently there is one vintage shop in Old Town, called Oh so Retro Tallinn. We heard about this shop when we were already returning to the hotel and to the ferry back. Basic second hand clothing you can find in couple charity shops (like Humana Estonia, where they had 1,5 meters rack of dresses and insane amount of jeans)<\/strong><\/span> and private second hand shops. However there are quite many antique shops, but prices are high, depending on the items of course. Old photos were rather cheap and in second hand bookshop old sewing magazines were quite good bargains too. All though older magazines than from 70’s are hard to find.<\/p>\n \u00a0 Travelling outfit:<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>
\nHuomatkaa pieni maalattu t\u00e4hti!<\/strong><\/span>
\nMonista rakennuksista l\u00f6ytyy hauskoja pieni\u00e4 symboleja. \/<\/strong><\/span>

\nMany buildings have funny little symbols painted on the wall.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
\nI must take you back to the Tallinn trip a bit. Return to our work and ordinary life has been somewhat rough. I caught cold on our trip and now it is getting a bit worse. There’s also work piling up. So lets have a look at some holiday photos. There is a lot of them. Tallinn is very photogenic city. There are loads of old buildings here and there. And tourist’s favourite, the Old Town is filled with magnifficent architecture. Whole city seems a bit shabby in places, but perhaps because of that it is also rather charming and romantic. And especially in Old Town they had quite a lot of renovation going on.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
