Oh Tallinn, Where Do We Begin? - Estonia's Baltic Coast | Next Stop Everywhere

Our second and final vid from the stunning nation of Estonia! We're still loving life on our Big Baltic Adventure, but it's all southwards from here...
BUT... before that... we enjoy a few days immersing ourselves in the culture, sights and sounds of Estonia's gorgeous capital city, Tallinn. Winding streets, cobbled squares, historic destinations and... pubs built into old water pipes? Yep, it's ALL in Tallinn!
Before we head south again, we visit the city's zoo (no surprise with Claire on board!) - we'd not heard great things on review sites but we were overwhelmed by the efforts the zoo has put in to improve the enclosures for the animals and focus on conservation, rather than just being an attraction. Huge pat on the back to Tallinn Zoo for that, money is being spent in the right ways to give their animals happier and healthier lives.
Finally, we head to the historic walled city of Pärnu where we get involved in the history of the Estonian republic itself, as it was in this beautiful place the nation was formed, and announced to the people - a hugely important place and a great stop off before we head back towards Latvia.
Enjoy, and join us for our Next Stop... Everywhere!

    Tallinn Zoo was built in the later Soviet years as a temporary housing place for the animals before the proper zoo gets built. Well, the proper zoo didn´t get built and the temporary became permanent. The zoo has always improved step-by-step and by now mostly modern, but it has been a long process.

    Hi, great video. Married to an Estonian so interested to seeing more of the sights my wheelchair hasn’t got to yet. Thanks for info on car park, will use it for motorhome on next visit. Just a help with pronunciation, the letter ‘j’ should sound more like a ‘y’, so Baltic Jaam should sound more like “Balti Yarm”. Anyway, happy exploring!

    Hi :) Thanks for the amazing adventures. :) Did you know that Estonia was a Danish possession through the Middle Ages and early modern times. Between 1206 and 1645, Denmark ruled over various parts of present-day Estonia. Danish rule in Estonia falls into two periods: Duchy of Estonia (1206-1346), Øsel as a Danish province (1560-1645) Dannebrog was established as a Danish flag in the Middle Ages and is thus one of the oldest national flags. The founding myth links the flag to the 13th century crusade in Estonia, where Dannebrog 'fell from the sky' during a battle outside Tallinn in 1219 - or was it in 1208? Dannebrog was the flag of the Danish king and thus the kingdom for centuries. It was not until the 19th century that the flag began to be associated with the people and the nation. :)

    Why would you choose the Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral as your thumbnail? It's completely uncharacteristic of the traditionally Lutheran and otherwise medieval old town and Estonians generally hate it as it was built as a symbol of Russian imperialism - Estonians even had serious plans of demolishing it in the 1920s...

    Estonia should be taken seriously, eg, because it offers e-Residency (mainly for entrepreneurs, but any1 can apply.) Every1 there has a right to Internet access [possibly free] & it's population incl's many entrepreneurs To see what Estonia might decide to become useful (& famous) for, in future, view, eg: + KZread "Estonia can produce enough Nuclear Energy to decarbonize all of Europe. (Bret Kugelmass presents)" (As a Pro-Nuclear Advocate, I see France, Sweden (where I spent 5 "Winters") & Ontario, Canada as very impressive places: 1 FR pivoted to Nuclear "by decree" of de Gaulle, who wanted the country to be & stay ahead of the World; 2 SE gets most of its elec. power fr Hydro & Nuclear; had a referendum on it (folks said "Turn 'em Off," but they still run) ; & 3 Ont. ,CA went Nuclear when its Healthcare costs (fr Coal smoke toxins) were found to be more than building its Nuclear: Scroll down in Live.GridWatch.CA to see how much Nuclear energy they Export each moment.) If your interest in Nuclear Energy, after all that, I'd say: view: some of these YT's: 1 "Kirk Sorensen TEDxYYC" 2 "Pedersen TEDxCopenhagen" 3 "Thorium Remix 2011" 4 "Why is everyone afraid of Nuclear Energy? Bret Kugelmass delivers a revisionist history" (by Kugelmass) More is at EnergyImpactCenter.org/media (or /thesis) "Nuclear = a Trillion $ industry, waiting to happen" (To hear what insiders think+say: try podcast "Titans of Nuclear") If you're into [fixing] Climate Change, try Mike Shellenberger's "Apocalypse NEVER" (eBook + audio-book, on Audible)"
