easter break - riga, tallinn, helsinki

during the easter break we (kathi and her friends from austria tina, simone and babsi, and andreas and daniel from the kth) did a trip to the baltics. first we took the overnight ferry to riga, the capitol city of latvia. riga is a very nice city which has a beautiful city center with lots of small streets and churches. but it is also worth to go a little bit ouside of the town. then you can see the other side of riga; old and rotten buildings and people which are very poor and live a hard life with hardly beeing recognised by the leading class.


only daniel, andreas and me went further to the next capital city, tallinn of estonia. tallinn is much bigger and livelier than riga. you can find many more tourists and more shops. but youcan also find medieval parts of the city, like the old city walls and defending towers.

the last city i´ve visited was helsinki, the capital of helsinki.
