When we woke up, we were already docked in Tallinn, it is a very scenic medieval walled town of hanseatic origins. We had breakfast in the dining room and left for town about 12:00. The lower town is an easy 20 minute walk from the ship following the blue line. The Old Town is divided into two parts, upper town and lower town. The town is surrounded by medieval walls and the two towns are themselves separated by a wall.
We followed Rick Steves walking tour, which was pretty efficient and easy to follow. We entered through the gate called Fat Margaret and continued to city hall. We did visit a church. The town was pretty full with tourists since there were at least four cruise ships at the docks. But it was a beautiful day. Upper town is accessed through a small tunnel between the walls.
Then we were back to the ship by 4:00 in time for the cooking demonstration by Samantha. She tried to demonstrate Pavlova, which is a meringue topped with fresh cream and fruit. She couldn't even get the bowl on the Kitchen Aid. It was so bad we left with just the recipe card.
We went shopping again since Lois' luggage didn't arrive as expected.
After cocktails in our room we went to dinner in the Rembrandt Dining Room. Appetizers at dinner I had the Oysters Rockefeller and Lois had the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail. Lois had the Salad of Arugula and Frisee and I had the Chilled Blackberry Soup. For the Entree we choose King Crab legs. Lois had the Souffle au Grand Marnier for dessert; I had the Amaretto Java Sundae.
