Tallinn
The next port of call on our Baltic tour was St. Petersburg – a place that has more than 250 rainy days a year and only 30 days with sun. Winter ends at the beginning of May, and it was interesting to see how far behind the plants were – at the beginning of June the tulips were out, and the lilacs were in full bloom. However, it was a rainy day and the light wasn’t good for photos, and we were on a coach trip to see the city sites.

We had more fun in Tallinn (Estonia) when we avoided following the crowds to the old town and headed for something a bit more modern. I think this unusual tree was part of an arts festival.
Our last stop was Oslo (Norway), and I didn’t take any photos there either. Once again we were on a tour, but at least this time the sun came out. And we saw the King of Norway’s farm, complete with cows that supply the city’s milk!
Once again, you can find all of my holiday snaps on Flickr.
