Since my last post a few things have happened to reshape my opinion of Tallinn.
Yesterday one of my colleagues had their camera stolen from the table beside her. This is perhaps not unusual in a major European city and during previous tours other members of our company have been victims of street crime.
But within 10 minutes of this event another member of our company was threatened in a popular fast food restaurant and on our return to the relative safety of the hotel we witnessed a fight in the bar.
After this high density seam of upset most people decided to go to bed where they could watch violent movies from the safety of bed.
The upshot of all this is that I dare not go and visit what I hoped would be the highlight of my stay in Estonia. Who knows what unspeakable act of criminality might befall me if ventured into the marzipan museum.
We are off to the last bastion of Euro-liberalism that is Holland where, hopefully, things will improve.
