Last night we braved the elements (a pussy compared to expectations) to take a walk through the old town of Tallinn to get a beer. There seems to be a church on every street corner and lots of impressive spires - but I spose that's the same in any old European city that wasn't flattened by bombs during some war.

We ended up in St Patrick's Bar which was warm and pleasant but not very Irish from what I saw. The stroll back was a bit chilly but no frostbite yet.

Today we took a cab away from the old town through past block after block of Soviet-constructed buildings to the outskirts of the city, where Estonia's silicon valley is at home.

Dashing for dinner now but more anon.
