Lets Get Organized

After another rather frantic attempt to find accomodation in Tallin (our next destination) we have decided to try and book the rest of our accomodation for the trip. All 30 nights of it!

We spent about 30 mins in a cafe sorting out our itinerary and a further four hours in the internet cafe trying to book hostels in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and the Czech Republic. Reasonably successful. Some of the smaller towns don't have facilities to book online so we still have a few phone calls to make.

We had met a couple on the train who had prebooked all their accomodation and we had thought they were mad!!! Turns out accomodation can be (a) expensive if cheaper places are full and (b) the cheaper places tend to fill up quickly!!! I stand corrected.

We catch the ferry tonight to Tallin in Estonia. Should be an interesting experience. The room we have has no windows so I might finally get a decent nights sleep. Nearly every morning I have woken up with the sun at about 4:30 !!! Not to mention going to bed with the sun at 11:30 - a grand total of about 5 hours a night. Those of you who know me know I like to sleep :-). Arrive in Tallin about 930 in the morning.
