Journey Eesti: Arrival

Well, I made it (barely). I’m in Tallinn proper. What a BEAUTIFUL city! So much new and old in one place, so many colours, so many TREES! It smells amazing here with the blooming trees and bushes, fresh and floral and big. 

It’s been quite the journey to get here: getting to Dublin from Sligo (I’ll have to talk about Sligo soon), getting from the hostel to the airport, getting the flight, getting the connection, getting to the AirBnB, and finally, getting IN the AirBnB! I’m very glad I did decide to get a hostel in Dublin yesterday, and not try to make the flight coming directly from Sligo. THAT would have been a nightmare. As it was, today was all sorts of chaotic. Getting sorted in Dublin went pretty straight forward, but I made my first mistake in not finding a charge station for my phone. It doesn’t hold a charge well anymore, as it’s quite old, but I naively thought that there would be USB charge stations on the chairs, like there had been for my flight to Europe. Nope! Out of luck. 

Well, perhaps I could charge a bit before my connection to Tallinn? HA! I must laugh at myself. We landed in Stockholm at 3:30, and my flight to Tallinn boarded at 3:40. I barely made the flight, and my bag didn’t at all :( if all has gone well, it is hopefully on the way to Tallinn right now, and I can get it tomorrow morning. My fingers and toes are all crossed! It was inevitable that something would go wrong, so I’m hoping that, once I get my pack, the worst will be over (knock on wood).

The weather here, at least, is BEAUTIFUL. Warm, sunny, exactly as it should be for late spring. I’m very glad it worked in my favour, as my dear host (and she is dear, I’m not being facetious) lost track of the time and didn’t come back to greet me until 9. But, she’s given me bread, invited me to a free concert her friend is putting on tomorrow, and made me feel right at home, so I’m going to make the best of this all. Things will work out, and it’ll be fantastic ❤️

It’s now time for bed! Stay wild :)
