Today we traveled by bus from St. Petersburg, Russia to Tallinn, Estonia. The trip took about six hours. Evgeny was ecstatic that we were in a good slot. He told us although buses trump trucks, trucks sometimes have to wait in line up to three days to pass through customs!

While we had about 20-30 minutes after clearing customs, I dashed to the top of Hermann Castle. Little did I realize how far up (and back down) it was! I got into big trouble with Paul for being five minutes late getting back to the bus, but the view was worth it.
Paul got sick on the bus (second time sick on this trip). Luckily, this round lasted less than 24 hours. Not so luckily, at least four others became ill in the next few days.
