O I do hope you'll be able to take that voyage across the Baltic Sea to Tallinn, Ober and Molo!
I'm sorry I've never been to Helsinki ... all my impressions of the Finnish capital came only from the many, many excellent photos from you guys that I've seen posted over the years.
Since my visit to Tallinn last summer, however, I am totally in love with it!
Tallinn has a lot going for it: the location along the Bay and its busy harbor; its lovely and wonderfully restored Old Town; the growing new City Center with the stunning Uhispanka building, which is among my all time favorites ; areas like the Rotermanni Quarter with some good looking old industrial buildings that can be rebuilt and reused while other parts are ready for new construction. All these are fairly close to each other so that, with thoughtful planning and building, a cohesive whole can be achieved from these different elements.
So here's to Tallinn!
