Spanish Erasmus in the way to "The Venice of the North" Last Days of AprilWe started our journey taking the ferry at 12.30 from Helsinki to Tallin. The plan was clear, we had bus tickets from Tallin to St.Petersburg on Wednesday night, 23:40. So we arrived to Tallin at 15:30 and we had time to enjoy the city and visit new places out of the "old town".
The ferry
We were supposed to leave from the bus station with Eurolines. We took a great offer: return tickets to St.Petersburg, VISAS to Russia, maps and guides for 81 € per person ;). Because we paid 20 euros for the ferry, 10 to go and 10 to come back, the whole journey cost 101 €.
The crew
We went to the bus station, left the luggage and then we went to visit the Tsar's summer palace which is located in a big park close to the beach in the way to Pirita.

After this we bought some beers, cold beers cost 1 € in Tallin in R-Kioski ;) and we sat down close to the harbour thinking and talking about our expectations of this trip Russia. Finally we had dinner in the old town, so cheap 3.5 €, we watched the match "Barca vs Milan" and we took the bus around midnight .....................Way to russia
