Honeymoon in Estonia

Last week we finally went on our "honeymoon"! 
We went to Tallinn in Estonia because the city has so many medieval houses and buildings that we wanted to experience.


It was the first time I was flying but it went really well, it was so exciting and fun to look at the world through the window of the plane at the landing and takeoff!


We stayed Hotel St. petersbourg and the staff there were so incredibly accommodating! Every time we went to the lobby the receptionist stood up greeting us so we felt very royal, haha!


The first night we ordered pizza to the room because sadly Mattias was feverish and had a cold, we thought we could share one and were surprised when the smallest pizza we've ever seen before arrived. O.o 





We ate dinner at Oldehansa on Wednesday evening and it was epic. Everything in the restaurant is medieval , even the food, it felt sort of like being on a larp and there was even a band that played medieval music!
Unfortunately, I had by then become infected by Mattias flu so I felt half dead all night. :(





Despite our illness we went for sightseeing on Thursday and of course wanted up on this wall!






We strolled the 258 steps up in the 124-meter high St. Olav's Church. All people we met in the stairs was breathing so strenuous that we felt incredibly gracious because we both had snotty noses but still had it easier xD


Amazing view from the tower :D









Frankly, our view looked like this the majority of days on the honeymoon due to the extreme cold with fever and cough. What luck that the hotel had Cartoon Network to watch, haha! We had certainly enjoyed our trip to Tallinn more if we both had been healthy, but we did get to cuddle a lot so it was not a wasted trip. ^^


We bought nothing except some candy and souvenirs for the family and this refrigerator magnet we bought for ourselves :) 

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
Anyone ever been to Tallinn?

  3. Så tråkigt att ni var förkylda, men lite skoj fick ni ju! ;) Och hotellrummet var iallafall snyggt.
    Riktigt underbara, gamla byggnader - dit vill jag en dag!
    Så den där jättekolossen var en mur? Det ser ut som en del av ett slott :D
    Pizzan må vara liten, men fan vad god den ser ut! *Drools*

  7. Vilken fin stad :) Jag har funderat länge på att besöka Estland och i synnerhet öarna. Vad tråkigt att ni var sjuka på resan. Verkligen otroligt starkt jobbat att gå uppför de där trapporna puh!
