Is there a green light on the microphone?
Well good morning viewers and this morning we're in Tallinn Estonia.
Here we are on top of Toompea Hill over there is the castle. I'll show you
in a minute but behind, that impressive building
is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. We're just gonna wonder around for a change and
relax and film what we see around the old town. So come along, let's go.
Tell me what you've learned you've been looking at a sign. okay so Tallinn old town
is a unesco world heritage site since
1997 or 92 of one of those I don't know. OK, very interesting thank you.
And also Hot glog is two years 50. What the hell is hot glog? Like mulled
wine without the alcohol, without the alcohol! Yes because it's too early in the morning Marcus.
mm-hmm it's very sweet and what's the word, not
herby, spicy. Last week it was minus 10 here, would have been freezing but luckily
this week it's a piping hot it's 3 degrees.
These are the tombstones from the St. Catharines Friary, they are 14th and 15th
century and they've been placed against the wall here. They are pretty big as
well
We stopped for essential coffee break time. One thing we haven't done yet
We haven't done the fridge magnet pricing, we check
the prices of fridge magnets around the world, the most expensive so far being the
Peabody Hotel, Memphis.
So we're gonna to go in the KGB prison cells, a nice cheery part.
We have to do something cheery. it says there, you get in, wait there's cars coming.
That's the KGB checking us on us. It's Putin, ok. He used to be in the KGB, it does
say you get in free if you're repressed
an I'm repressed by Mellissa sometimes.
By the way, I'm going now.
Well hello now we're in the seaplane harbour, this mega structure was built in
1916, 1917 and it was used up until the war, the Second World War by the Estonian
air force. It's massive and if you look it's like concrete domes and there's no
internal supporting pillars. So it's lasted since 1917 so fingers crossed
there's no major issues when we're here. Yeah, by the way that there
is a submarine and we are going to be going on that later. I've got new
souvenir Can I take it home Mel?
Mel, are you going to go in the submarine? Only just that little bit.
I can see you as some former dictator, I can imagine you in a uniform,
repressing me. I don't think you've ever been repressed in your life
So Marcus is gonna try and land a plane.
Some angle there Marcus.
Hello, from a very chilly Tallinn Estonia.
So that was our short break to Tallinn and it's highly recommended. This is an
honest review not a press trip or anything. We've come we paid ourselves and it's a
really underrated city. Come for a couple of days to stay in the city. It's really
pretty it's like other European cities we've been to like Prague and Krakow
but without the crowds this time of year and it's not rundown like some
other European cities either everything is really clean, it reminds me a bit of
Scandinavia. It does lean more to Scandinavia than I would say Eastern
Europe. So yeah we're gonna go now and get warm so that's it for me and that's
it from Mel on the camera, bye.
