#24 part 2 - Train to Tartu

Train to Tartu
Place of Good thoughts               --- :)
but unfamiliar part of town
past national museum
University Corporations
University Colours
"Was that the one that created the Estonian flag?"
Student residence to drop off things
A cooker in  room
but no time to cook
but swapped wet shoes for dry
Off to meet more Estonians
over a viking bridge
Katrin on the swing
then another
I was right that Estonains like swings
But not meet others here
A Chinese restaurant
they always go
but was too bust this time
An Italian restaurant this time
"Did you joke about paying?"
It wouldnt have been very funny
Pizza too big
Rest for a bit
Meet even more Estonians
on way to Oscar Wilde
Interesting conversations
on music
well in English
In Estonian
Schools
Off to Big Ben
Phonebox the wrong shape,
Winston Churchill portrait hanging on wall
Pub is not really more English then England
feel tired
but thought too rude to leave
no concentration on conversation
beer
or football
Finally after a fun but tiring night
set off my way
up Riia Street
did not want no short cuts offered
and right at Cinema
or else might end up in Riga
