Europe Trip 2013: Fat Margaret [& the Maritime Museum], St Olavs and the Old Town Centre

I went to see Fat Margaret today. No, I didn't get slapped! "Fat Margaret" is the name of one of the old buildings in the Old Town centre :-) You can see it on the left side of the first picture :-)

Inside Fat Margaret is the Estonian Maritime Museum. I'm not really overly interested in maritime stuff, but it was nice to have a look around, only EUR4 [or was it EUR6?], either way, cheap as, and there was some interesting stuff to look at. Perhaps most interesting was that you could get onto the roof and get a good look around the city - particularly the port and the Old Town. Well worth the money even if boats are not your thing!

Next up was a bit of walking through the city then in to St Olav's. The church itself was closed due to a funeral but for just EUR2 visitors can walk up to the 60 meter high "viewing area". To say it was a hard climb, would be understating it somewhat. The steps are narrow, there's only one "rest area" about 45 meters up and traffic is in both directions! The viewing area is extremely narrow but the views are amazing.

Lastly I have a few photos of the Old Town [there are a lot more I might just publish one day], the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus [more on the bus tour later] and an odd one, the "Hawaii Express" [still no idea what it was for...] :-)
