Hello Tallinn!

everyday life 1 Minute

I booked a suite in one of the Old Town hotels hoping for a Medieval experience, and it was an experience indeed! The location is amazing, and it worked perfectly for everything we planned, including a very early train to Narvs this morning. But the suite itself was an adventure (and for the record, it was the most expensive suite in the hotel.

Here is how you enter:

It was a complete darkness when we entered, and it took us quite a while to find the main switch.

Just picture what it would take to climb this kind of stairs, and even worse at night!
And no, I do not like this level of Medievalness!
The hotel courtyard

The city is still magical, and maybe more than ever 🙂

The hotel breakfast didn’t open until 7 AM, and we had to take a 6-46 train. We asked the reception, and they had brown bags for us with sandwiches, fruit, and water. It ended up being even more useful than I originally thought because the trip didn’t go smooth 🙂

To be continuied.

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
