to nobody in particular:
...wow...
...it was an awesome four-day trip, this past sat/sun/mon/tues-day...
...lots of fun, not too expensive, lots of walking, not tons of responsibility, lots of relaxing, not-so-scary hostels, lots of picture-taking, not too exhausting...
...it was fantastic...
...brief overview here -- pictures to come later: we (four of us total) flew on saturday morning to Riga, Latvia, and enjoyed our day there in the capital city -- quite nice; stayed overnight and took a train to Majori on the Baltic Sea for the early afternoon; spent the rest of the day in Riga until our four hour bus ride to Tallinn, Estonia; walked to our hostel there and had a short rest until our early ferry ride over to Helsinki, Finland early monday morning; spent the day in Helsinki (which is a fairly expensive city and, of the three, was a little disappointing -- thought it would be better); took the ferry back to Tallinn and stayed in our hostel again; hung out in Tallinn on Tuesday (which, of the three, i liked the most), enjoying the "old town", including some good eating and a private sauna for a couple of hours -- nice; were in Tallinn until flying back to Berlin late Tuesday night...
...yes, it was tremendous...
...additionally, all travel and lodgings only added up to 116 Euro (roughly $160 US) -- not bad for a four-day, three country trip, right?...
...i'll throw a couple pictures up here sometime soon...
-----
..."you learn something new every day"...
...five days ago, i learned: enjoying good company and great drinks overlooking the skyline-sunset of the capital of Latvia from the 26th floor is quite an unforgettable experience...
...four days ago, i learned: the Baltic Sea is cold in October -- swimming isn't necessary...
...three days ago, i learned: Helsinki is an expensive city -- mental note: don't live there...
...two days ago, i learned: a "real Estonian pancake" with bacon and smoked cheese is tasty, yet filling...
...yesterday, i learned: i am capable of giving a presentation about the Maori culture in German -- progress!...
...today, i learned: re-hanging curtains is a pain...
