1pm After breakfast we prepared to go on the Tallinn City Tour bus. It offers 3 routes around the city and each route goes for an hour. We started off with the blue route, at Viru Square.
Here's photos taken on the blue route. It's a challenge taking photos on a moving bus, so they might be a bit blurred.

6:10pm Back to where we were. The bus driver drove super fast. :) Did I mention he was the same bus driver for all routes? He just changes the route sign in front of the bus. We went back to Hää Eesti Asi where I bought some meat spices.
