Being a travel fanatic (even if I can"t indulge myself as often as I would like), I"d like to know the details & experience of your journey to Tallinn.

Well firstly I must try and get a go at the archery tomorrow morning!
The experience of the journey?
Well firstly Tallinn is not that accessible. Although there is a direct flight from the UK on a Thursday you can"t get back til the Tuesday. We therefore connected via Helsinki, others connected by Prague
Although there are some UK tourists here this all means that Tallinn retains an old world charm. Compared to Riga, which I went to on a stag three years ago, its far less UK-centric and less commercial.Apart from the places the lads go to I would imagine!
The journey London-Helsinki was 3 hours or so, via FinnAir. Very good
The hop from Helsinki to Tallinn was 20 minutes on a turboprop. We both said that we"d investigate doing the 45 minute fast ferry when going back on Monday. In this summer weather, looking down on groupings of Islands just in the Gulf to the south of Finland that looked a very appealing travel option. Something far better about looking out at sea rather than above the clouds!
As it was the hop across was fine, and this venue is 15 minutes from the airport
Estonia"s currency is the Kroon, which is replaced by the Euro on 1/1/11. So far prices don"t seem too bad. A bit more inflated than at home, but bearable.
TightEnd:
Play got away on time, no exits yet
Mostly a youngish crowd, overwhelmingly blonde/fair.

No vouvouzela"s then? (sorry if the spelling is wrong)
TightEnd:
One of the gallant Brit Nine is Chen Tam "Sunseekers" from Nottingham, here with his partner
He raises to 150 in level 1 in the hi-jack
Ivan Piskunov flat calls on the button. Impeccable English and he announces "I have this round thing". The button I assume
flop ac ah 4c
Chen leads for 150
Ivan makes it 600
Chen makes it 1500
With a quizzical smile Ivan says "So my four is no good then?" and folds
Chen tells him "maybe, I was just finding out if you really did have the Ace"
TightEnd:
Near the end of the first level and still no exits. My predictive powers are waning.
Beautiful atmosphere though, friendly and courteous. Like Walsall on a Saturday night.
