#24 part 4 - Tallinn

Finding Hotel
through melting snow
change shoes over again
they look a mess
o well
just a little late
finding Virge sat
at city hall
Piret arrive later
Another mini tour
Here you might remember this - Our hostel of last year
"Yes that's where I saw you last" I said
"You saying see you sometime"
Then over to monument
that I couldn't remember
and crossing over to steps
for Moscow Olympics
Then 2 snowballs in back
and HELLO HELLO
from Piret
Discussion of Stalker film
Then back over around town
Past Hotel Queen stayed at
and finally up to Toompea for lowering of flag and anthem
But Virge shouts REVENGE!
and throws a snowball at Piret
and a snowball starts
one narrowly misses my head
Virge sounds dissapointed
Finally we stop and the flag lowers
although the anthem was some snippet which wasnt so good
better in the morning
Can be heard all around!
Pancake place
which was busy last time
my pancacke with longnameicouldntpronounce but recognices had Juust
in it, was mushrooms and blue cheese
Ate whilst asking about Siim
Then off to find music in music festival
went to see Jazz
but Virge wanted to see Brainstorm
too expensive for both
So Bus
and bus ticket
which Piret pinched and punched for me
No Katrin this time

Insteresting Latvian bands
singing pandas
but Virge not translating this time :)
but I know that all songs are about the same thing
bopping Estonians
Screaming Latvians
Saku to drink
whilst we sat
then stood and bopped
and avoided the cameras
hopefully
Brainstorm on
good tunes
Never seeming to finish
even after encore
we leave with one tune playing on
Virge Taxi come first
Goodbyes and hugs
and once again "see you sometime"
Taxi with Piret
asking about Palupõhja
not this year
but one in future
and rememebering
a Kalev Chocolate
that Siim had asked to give me
finally hotel
Piret out for a hug
and taxi going off
but luckily she stopped it again
me saying hope she gets home
off to sleep if i can

but waking early trying to
catch sunrise but wasnt
when expected so back
and some more sleep
before off back to Helsinki
Bye Estonia for now
