Autumn Break / Cruise To Tallinn

A CRUISE TO TALLINN WITH FRIENDS IN OCTOBER

Traveling to Tallinn, Estonia from Helsinki Finland takes about 2.5 hours by boat. It is like traveling from Kotka to Helsinki. So near and easy. You could have a day cruise and spend a few hours in Tallinn or you could just cruise and have fun on the ship without going down. I like a night cruise to Tallinn to spend the night on the ship have fun and worry about nothing.

I remember last time I was on a cruise was with Meu and we enjoyed the cruise with just me and him. You know you could get drunk and not worry if kids aren’t with you. One thing I like also is that Rianna enjoys so much playing at the ship’s kid’s playground. She like a cruise trip and often asks me when do we go on a cruise again.

We always say we don’t go to Tallinn, but well, Tallinn is the easiest and cheapest to go if you need a quick break. It was a last-minute decision to travel to Tallinn. Because I have days off and Rianna has an autumn break, I decided we go somewhere. So we went to Tallinn. I’ve informed my friend that we booked a ticket, and then she was happy because she’s been planning to bring her daughter to Tallinn also.

So it was perfect we go on a cruise trip together again. Our third cruise together, actually twice in Stockholm and once in Tallinn. Also, we had a trip together in Oslo last year. It’s always fun to travel with friends. And I like it because Rianna is so happy to travel with her friend and they are both having fun. Although saying goodbye after the trip makes me sad because they both don’t want to let go and are both crying.

The waterpark opens at 10 am, so we were obviously so early. We grabbed some breakfast at 7 am, walked around the old town and checked the shops, and just before 10 am we headed our way to the waterpark. It was so foggy and cold in Tallinn on Sunday morning. But it was nice to be the first tourists exploring around. We had the old town center all to ourselves. We only had a few hours in Tallinn but we managed everything we have planned to do and visit.

By 15:30 pm we headed back to Helsinki. It was a little intense. The ship was so full and even in the restaurants, we could not find a place to sit. We ended up sitting on the floor near the stairs. I did not book a cabin on the way back because it’s only 2.5 hours and I thought we don’t need it, which made me regret it because we were so tired from walking and swimming earlier that day and would really nice to take a nap. Anyway, 2.5 hours wasn’t so bad. We arrived in Helsinki at around 6 pm. We had dinner at Kamppi and then headed straight to Loviisa. I was so happy that my plan was successful. I wasn’t so sure if we can make it to the aquapark, but we did. So I felt happy and grateful everything went well on this trip.

This is probably the last trip before our Philippines trip. I need to save more money for the December trip to the Philippines. We will be one month there so we really need to have a good budget for food and everything while we are there.
