After a first quiet night in Estonia and a really good, absolutely our "standard" corresponding element breakfast, I made today on the way Tallinn on your own z
u explore. By bus No. 6 (or other), who was coming so I went out the quarter hour to Zoo Station and tried to find my way to the museum Rocca al Mare . This was not easy and I had to ask twice, because there are no signs - at least those that I may have deciphered. The men, all good English, as I have experienced it also in Sweden, and were extremely nice and friendly. Therefore, very briefly, a tip for post-me-travelers: the left is the zoo, right, a building complex called Rocca al Mare with many shops where you can but the sea, the right is the Audi-house, goes further and then the wide road the sea along the left follows. After about 15 minutes away in the a forest / park, the terrain. It takes about two hours to look at the whole area with its houses and buildings. The focus is primarily on the representation of rural life in the various regions of the country, but also wind mills, a church and a school for assessment among others. In some of them to see people in period costume and some of them are happy when it speaks a few words with them. I therefore immediately with my knowledge of Estonian-dotted and the heart of a 70-year-olds by storm, as I to her, "Tere hommikust" (good morning) said. She could not only Estonian, but also English and German, and then gave a nice talk.
way, teachers do not complain about your job! - 120 years ago was teaching a Beibrot and you could not live alone like this (like us). The bulk of the revenue came from the small farm, the operation of the teachers. He was also obliged to assist the pastor to lead the choir and theater performances to be on the legs.
interesting is that each court a sauna it was and it still seems to be a "must-have! They titled the sauna as the doctor of the farmers.
The labels are here exemplary way: Estonian, Russian, English and German.
Note the sign (especially the middle below), I have seen from the Rocca al Mare School, and applies to the park.
Then again with the O-bus back to the center and immediately pulled up the Cathedral Hill with wonderful weather (only with T-shirt in contrast to many Estonians, who were with jacket and sweatshirt on the way - what make in winter?). From the top you have a good view of the city, the sea and .... the many tourists.
What have seen in the inner city still, the cathedral, the "Lange Hermann" (a 45 m high tower), the Nevski Cathedral (Russian Orthodox Church, which for most Estonians not so popular is), surpassing Hall Square (with prices in the guest houses, Vienna), many beautiful communities, civic and commercial buildings, then in light rain, the "Fat Margaret" (a meter thick city gate), the "three sisters" (three different houses which are now operating as a hotel), etc. Once the rain stops still slightly (Where does that actually, it's all around bright), I go briefly back to the hotel and meet up then at 17 clock at the Town Hall with Krista, in the first functional chairman of the Estonian German Teachers Association, in the second "my" teacher, where I in Tabasalu the 2nd will spend half of my stay. In a small cafe we chat about our country, their school, their classes and this and that adopted after two hours I am to have dinner with an Austrian colleague. pass a 1 / 2 10 back to the hotel and the day can Revue.
Head ööd! (Good night)
