Subject: Post: Grhm. The Tallinn ferries have really bad timetable. There are not much ferries at the afternoon, and all the companies are departing at the same time. As driving from Riga takes a few hours, it would be nice to have some ferries to choose from without leaving Riga really early.This time we had only one good option, Tallink Superfast departing Tallinn at 15.30. After breaking most of the traffic rules of Estonia and Latvia we arrived to the check-in at 15.18, 8 minutes too late. That sucks. We changed our tickets to the next ferry, Tallink Star at 18.30, but now we have to spend a few hours in Tallinn..I still dont like being at Tallinn very much. The city itself is nice, and so are the local people. The problem are the Finnish people and the image they give about Finland. Half of them come to Estonia to drink the cheap alcohol, and are totally wasted.. And the second half behaves like they have never been outside their home town..But on the bright side, sure it was fun to drive like a headless monkey through Estonia and the centrum of Tallinn again after adapting the southern driving habits :)I will really miss the fast-paced traffic of most European cities when we are back in Finland. 70-80kmh is perfectly suitable speed for city traffic, 30kmh in Helsinki and Turku is really annoying.The other thing I will miss is the habit which almost all the drivers in most countries have: Warning about polices by blinking headlights. Makes driving much more relaxed when you dont have to watch the speed all the time, just keep it somehow inside allowed limits and slow down a bit when you see the blinks.I wish the people in Finland had the habit of warning others of some blue-wearing homosexuals sitting in a bush with a radar.. :p Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
