Eating October
F ood culture comes in all shapes and sizes and in Estonia its no different. IIn the four years that I have lived here, I have seen dozens of new restaurants open (and close sometimes), as well as the birth of many great culinary events and festivals. It seems that Estonia just cant get enough! Take for example the annual street food festival that takes place at Telliskivi Creative City. Now in its second year, the festival has had to add a second day, just to accommodate the crowds. Restaurant weeks have gained in popularity and have spread out over the country to Tallinn, Prnu, and Tartu. And lets not forget the tens of smaller harvest events that take place in late summer around Estonia. Thats not all, September was also the first ever Estonian Food Month, where
Estonian food culture was not only celebrated through-out the country, but also in restaurants.
October is a great month to visit Estonia, not only for the food, but for many other reasons. Theatre season is in full swing, with some great performances at the symphony and opera. Check out some of the new art and museum exhibitions including the fascinating Race to the End of the World, on now at the Seaplane Harbour. The Ants Laikmaa exhibit, Vigala and Capri on display at KUMU is also a worth a visit. And dont forget to book your places at one of the many restaurants taking part in Tallinn Restaurant Week at the beginning of November.
Bon appetit and happy travels!

Lunch at Grill 250 includes a salad bar, soup, hot dishes and assorted breads. The lunch buffet is great for both individuals and groups. Even vege-tarians can easily prepare nutritious lunches. The freshly baked white bread and rolls are also included in the lunch.
Meat, fish, and vegetarian options are complemented by the cake selection that is made fresh in the restaurant. You can have as many desserts as you like, if you still have room after all the previous choices. If you enjoy a long lunch, the restau-rant is open on weekdays from 12-15.
The name of the restaurant already indicates that beef will be cooked to the right temperature. Portions are sufficiently large. The most popular 300-gram sirloin is a decent portion. You can watch the barbeque masters at work from the dining room.
For those less hungry, the menu includes freshly made beef burgers, pizza, fish, and poultry options.
If you love beer, recommen-dations are made to go along with your food and half-metre garlic sausages can be shared with a friend. This includes an appetizer from the buffet table. There is truly something for everyone. Grill 250 offers half price Saku Gold draught and Kiss Pear cider daily from
7pm.

Tuljak was once a popular caf during the Soviet period and now the same guys behind NOA and OKO reopened the Tallinn institution this past summer. Its no wonder the place was an overnight success, its got one of the best terraces in the city overlooking the water. We visited on a cool night in September, and while the terrace is now closed, the restaurant showed no signs of slowing down for the winter season.
Its a bit tricky to find your way to Tuljak if youve never been there before. It sits atop a small hill and you actually have to go around the side to find the entrance. Hint, its not the first door you see, thats the kitchen. The restaurant offers a beautiful panorama over the bay and a view of the Old Town in the distance. The sun sets through the windows and lights up the room.
The menu is divided into three parts: snacks, appetisers, mains,
and desserts. We tried the salt-ed mackerel to start with rad-ish, onion, and soy mirin sauce. The dish was a bit of an Asia-meets-Eastern Europe fusion that worked - with each bite of the salted mackerel one expects pickled cucumbers on the side, but the soy mirin sauce was a pleasant combination. Next, if youre looking for a fancy schnit-zel, this is the place to come. The veal schnitzel ROS was served with apple pure, horseradish, and stump mushroom salad. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, this is a dish we would come back for. Save room for dessert and try the Tuljak tira-misu with blueberries.

Youve probably heard of proced-ures like mesotherapy, ultrasound, and microdermabrasion, maybe youve even tried them. All of these procedures and more are available at some of the many beauty salons you will find throughout the city. Prices in Tallinn are much lower than in places like London and Helsinki. Take for example the no-needle mesotherapy: in Tallinn the procedure at Tiia Ilusalong costs 52, whereas in London prices start at 60. Heres a quick overview of some of the most popular procedures.
No-needle mesotherapyThis is perhaps one of the most popular treatments out there because it offers the same great results as traditional mesotherapy, but without the pain. Instead, it uses electric pulses that deliver ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin to the mesoderm or middle layer of the skin. This deeply hydrates and plumps up the skin. The best
part, you can get on with your day straight away. Tiia Piirisild, manager at Tiia Ilusalong, recommends 4-6 treatments for the best results. MesotherapyTraditional mesotherapy uses a needle to do the exact same as mentioned above, though with a little bit of pain and possibly with slightly faster and better results. The needles used are very short and thin. Its particularly effective in treating cellulite, but can also be used on the face. With this option, you will need to rest afterwards and give the treated area time to heal. UltrasoundUltrasound is now used for a lot more than just seeing into the womb. Its another non-invasive treatment used to lift the skin (in particular the eyebrow, neck, and under the chin, as well as lines and wrinkles in the chest area) and promote collagen production by targeting deep tissue layers (5mm deep) to make sure the treatment goes where its needed. Once
again, there is no recovery time needed, so you can get right on with your day. One treatment is usually enough, but it depends on the skin type. Sometimes one might need up to three treatments to see the desired effect.
MicrodermabrasionWhile this might sound painful, its actually quite gentle. It exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells, vacuuming them away as it goes along, leaving your skin feeling softer and smoother, and ultimately more vibrant after about 6-10 treatments. The machine uses crystals or diamonds to exfoliate through a handheld wand that creates a vacuum when it touches the skin. Recovery time is 1-2 days, as your skin may be a little pink afterwards. Its a good treatment option for those with mild acne and superficial scars. LocationTiia IlusalongMelon Centre 3rd FloorEstonia pst 1/3, Tallinnwww.tiiakosmetika.ee
What to Know Before You GoProfessional service and great prices are just two reasons why you should
come to Tallinn for your beauty treatments.

Prgu Rtli 4, Tallinn Old Town I1Prgu means purgatory, but dont be put off; its much closer to hea-ven than hell. Its a secluded bar set into what looks like a trading house in the Old Town. Its hard to find, but once you get there, youre in for a treat. The cavernous bar, which is accessible through an old wooden door and up a flight of stairs, allows you to drink with your friends while feeling a part of the history of Tallinn. Nestling in quiet Rtli street, this is a bar which only knowledgeable peop-le frequent - and thats where you come in.
The drinks offered include a generous number of Estonian and international beers, while also hav-ing a menu full of traditional treats, alongside some international fla-vours such as the cheesy, breaded jalapeno peppers! The atmosphere, in spite of its location, is always live-ly, and Prgu is an excellent place to start a night out, especially if you want to experience the real Estonia.
Prgu comes recommended for its easy charm, its unfussy inter-
ior, and the feeling you get of the place being your own little secret. The lack of a reliable phone signal when youre under all that stone is also a hidden advantage; it means that you will find it much easier to make conversation with the person you came in with.
Karja Kelder Vaike-Karja 1, Tallinn Old Town I2For a similar experience to Prgu, but situated in a more central spot, Karja Kelder is a great option. All the beers you could have hoped for are there, but there is, in my opin-ion, a slightly better food menu at this bar. Alongside the occasional
western option are a series of tasty Estonian treats that should fill you up without leaving a hole burning in your pocket.
Located down, rather than up, a series of stone steps, Karja Kelder also gives an otherworldly feel, as if you have travelled back in time - an illusion only broken by the music playing in the bar, and the regularly-used betting machine by the door. However, distractions are limited, and this is a fine bar for spending time chatting, with the acoustics excellent in every part of the room.
The clientele, due to Karja Kelders location close to the usual tourist trap of Nimeta and Shooters, is more mixed than in Prgu, with foreigners and Eston-ians sharing the space on most nights. You can be sure that youll be more than welcome here, and youll want to stay once you arrive.

WHERE THE TOURISTS WHERE THE TOURISTS DONT GODONT GO
T his month, we think you need to take a look at the bars where foreigners dont go in such great numbers, because it is there that you find the real Estonia, and see, for affordable prices, how the locals socialise. All of these diverse watering-holes are guaranteed to entertain and enlighten you. Lets take a look at the unexplored side of Tallinn.
saloon bar in one of those car-toon westerns: its as though the air goes still. The music carries on, but everyone in the bar looks round, curious about the new visi-tor. Kolm Lvi has gained a degree of notoriety for being the only bar in Tallinns Kalamaja district to stay open after 2am.
Inside, Russian disco music blares, people enjoy themselves, completely unselfconsciously, and its clear there is a great party going on here. Someone asks me, using her eyes only, to vacate my seat, as it is hers. She does this with the withering look of someone who idolises Clint Eastwoods character in Gran Torino and doesnt like to be messed-with.
Meanwhile, several women aged over 40 are pirouetting around a pole that has been
placed, randomly, in the middle of the dancefloor, presumably for the amusement of the regulars. It works. No need for snobbery here - for a smooth, luxury experience, there is always the bar of your hotel, but for a true Tallinn late-night survival epic, head to Kolm Lvi. You might surprise your-self with what you find there. My advice, though: go with a friend, as the groups of people who fre-quent Kolm Lvi tend to know each other very well, and you will wish to share the experience with someone.

TEXT AND PHOTOS MIKKO VIRTA, MAP EVE JAANSOO
The morning sun is warming when you head about twenty kilometres towards the Viimsi peninsula. The coastal Pirita road is soon behind you, and the smell of the algae on the beach forces you to pedal faster.
At Haabneeme beach fresh-er winds are blowing. The idyl-lic, coastal atmosphere is over-shadowed by the Coast Guards warning of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). Despite this, the beach is full of people when the weather is warm.
Haabneeme shows among other things, Viimsis good reputation. Lush gardens with apple and pear trees, and tomatoes ripening in greenhouses are on both sides of the road.
The well maintained bike path runs along the seashore for most of the journey. The ride is easy. Soon, you can see the Viimsi Open Air museum farmhouses with thatched roofs. For three euros you can famil-iarise yourself with the heritage buildings.
The skyscrapers of the Tallinn skyline can be seen in the distance along the coastline and it creates an interesting contrast with the scenery.
The trip continues to Pringi, with the sea sparkling on the west side all the time. Suddenly, something big floats above: a sea eagle, a second and a third fly large arcs in the sky. On closer inspection, it turns out that the bird closest to the ground is young and the other two are older, white-tailed eagles; the whole family is out for a daily flight. A woman watching children play on the beach, claims that the eagles were there the previous day. One flew over us quite low.
Beside the older houses are high-quality eco houses with Porsches and other expensive toys. It has to stand out some-how, after all, that Viimsi is one of the richest areas outside of Tallinn.
Along with property there are Viimsi traditions, some time ago there was the famous Kirov col-lective farm, which in addition to the production of fishery products, produced shampoo and souvenirs. The Rannarahva Museum shows everyday life on the collective farm.
At Rohuneeme village store you can see Pandju Island in the dis-tance, which you can walk to at low tide. According to the informa-tion sign terns and ducks breed on the island and going to the island is banned during nesting season. Today, the beaches are quite empty, the birds are already migrating towards their winter homes.
Rohuneeme is finally in front of me, the 20 km long bike ride can now be felt, so I stop to rest at a crossroad. I am startled when someone behind me says hello. An older woman walking her dog greets me with friendliness. The same is repeated a few more times, as this village also welcomes strangers, so I know I have arrived.
The atmosphere in Rohuneeme is chatty. This beach village has an air of security and peace. Not
surprisingly, Lennart Meri (Estonias first president after re-independence) liked it here. Estonias legendary president lived in his Rohuneeme home for nearly 10 years. I cannot admire Meris beautiful house as it is located in a fenced area at the tip of the peninsula.
Aegna Island seems almost untouched, Prangli is much far-ther offshore. Viimsi includes Prangli, Naissaar, Aksi and Keri, as
well as a few more smaller islands. Some of the islands are connected to the Viimsi port.
The sea is always beside Rohuneeme. One can only imagine how it can be during winter storms when the cold winds sweep over the village from the sea. At present, however, life seems to be smiling, the sea breeze blowing softly, and the voices of children playing on the beach are transmitted quite far.
Viimsi is Estonias wealthiest parish, made up of about 19, 000 inhabitants. The peninsula is 10 km long and 5 km wide.
From Tallinn city center, one can bicycle to Rohuneeme in a couple of hours. The trip is about 19 km.
There are many worthwhile sights along the way: the Viimsi Open Air Museum, the Museum of Coastal Folk, the Estonian War Museum, and the RMK Nature Centre. The west coast of the peninsula has numerous restau-rants and some village shops.
Bus number 1 runs from the center of Tallinn to Viimsi. You can rent a bike in the Old Town.

Old Town fo Five great activities to enjoy
TEXT MIKKO VIRTA, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV
Climb the tower and dress up in
armourAround the Old Town, about twenty of the ancient towers have survived and some of them can also be viewed from the inside. Kiek in de Kk, near the Freedom Square is one of the strongest, most well built turrets in Europe. Fat Margaret (Paks Margareeta), however, is known for its very thick-walled lookouts. Within its walls are approximately 155 can-non portholes, and the tower also houses the contemporary Eston-
ian Maritime Museum. In the 14th century Epping Tower, you can try on armour and admire the medi-eval weapons.Fat Margaret, Pikk 70. Tallinn Old Town A2. Epping Tower, Laboratooriumi 31. Tallinn Old Town A2.
Adventurous tunnels
In the bottom floor of the Kiek in de Kok tower there is access to the underground Bastion tunnel, the oldest parts of which were been built in the 16th century. During different eras the tunnels have functioned, among other things,
as bomb shelters and warehouses. The tunnels can be accessed only by guided tour. This attraction is not recommended for children under seven years of age. Kiek in de Kk and Bastion tunnels, Komandandi tee 2. Tallinn Old Town B1.
Taste the marzipan and pastries
Situated near the Town Hall, Mai-asmokk is worthy of its name as a pastry caf. The little ones will see pieces of cake, pink cookies and sweets behind the counter. In the same building as the caf is the Kalev Martsipanimuuseum (Kalev Marzi-

or Children with the whole family in Tallinn.
TEXT STUART GARLICK
Petrone Print, the renowned Estonian publishing company, makes a foray into childrens literature with this delightful story about Ronik, a dog owned by a family from Moscow who makes frequent trips to Tallinn. Anait Piruzyan demonstrates her love for the Estonian capital in every page of this geographically-accurate, and yet fantastical, piece of imaginative writing.
On his walk, Ronik, a loyal and obedient dog to his owners, hears a guinea pig speak to him inside his favourite place of all, Tallinn Old Towns pet shop. The guinea pig, who later tells Ronik she is called Beatrice, instructs him to come to a statue in Lembitu Park. Though Ronik hesitates, even-tually he decides the temptation is too great. When there, Bea-trice leads Ronik on a sweeping adventure that takes place across the Old Town and involves all of the citys historic statues, as well as a large part of the pet popula-tion. Priit Reas illustrations bring home, with realistic pictures, the real-life beauty of the Old Town.
If youve visited Tallinn, or you live there, youll love the instantly-recognisable places and monu-ments. If youve never visited Tal-linn in your life, youll fall for the city over the course of this well-
told, nicely-paced story. With-out spoiling the plot, which has a twist that will make you smile and cry at the same time, this is a book about imagination, about the way that magic happens when you believe that play is real, and about understanding who is a true friend and taking care of them.
Other important themes, such as sharing, taking time to look after others, and not allowing people to be spiteful or jealous, are also covered, in a tale that is old-fashioned in the right way, taking you and your child on a timeless journey while teaching that those who are ultimately hap-piest are those who do what feels like the right thing for others.
The language level is about on a par with the third class in an English primary school, between the ages of 8 and 10, and if English is not your childs first language, you should take good care to go through the difficult words with him or her. Some of the turns of phrase feel like they were not written by a native English-speak-er (as they were not), although this is not something that pre-vents enjoyment, just as it did not for Tve Janssons Moomin stor-ies. As with those, the message is delivered subtly, rather than being hammered home, and The Adventures of Ronik in Tallinn is all the better for it.

Take the train through the city
A fun old-fashioned fun train ride goes through the cobbled streets of the Old Town. On board, the whole family can relax and get off their tired feet, while admiring the medieval buildings. The blue loco-motive starts every twenty min-utes from Town Hall Square at Kullassepa tnav.
Explore the world of museums
In the Old Town are several museums that are interactive for all members of the family includ-ing kids. Nuku is a puppet theater and a museum, where you can become acquainted with Estonias most famous puppet theater actors and characters. Due to renovations theatrical perform-ances will take place this season, at the Auna theater in Pelgulinn.
The Museum of Natural Sci-ences (Eesti Loodusmuuseum) delves into Estonian nature. Plan to allow more time for your visit as the museum is on three different
floors. Learn all about owls and moths at the temporary exhibit until October 25.
The Estonian History Museum (Eesti Ajaloomuuseum) takes you on an interactive journey back 11,000 years ago. The museum is located in the Great Guild Hall (Suurgildi hoone), near the Mai-asmokk cafe.

Paks Margareeta Fat Margaret (Paks Margareeta) is the most important fortification tower in Tallinn. She was built in the early 1500s. The diameter of the tower is 25 metres and the walls are up to 6.5 metres thick! She was constructed to protect Tallinn from intruders from the sea. Fat Margaret is often the main entrance gate and first encounter for visitors to the Old Town in Tallinn, if arriving by sea. Pikk 70,Tallinn A2.
Hop on, Hop off Bus Tour
Sometimes you just dont have enough time to see everything, but on the Tallinn City Tour you just might. Three lines run daily, and best of all, each one passes through the Port of Tallinn, making it even more convenient. The tour operates in ten different languages and is guided by a recorded audio track that follows the sequence of the sights. One ticket is valid for 24 hours. This means that you can travel on all three routes in one day.
Must-see sights of the Old TownTEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV
Viewing PlatformsKohtu Platform - offers one of the best views of the Old Town. The impressive tower of the Niguliste Church seems at arm's length. The red-tiled roofs with white edges are characteristic of Tallinn. Tallinn B1.Patkul Platform - shows both a view of St Olafs Church, and part of the city wall. The church was even taller in medieval times and the tallest building in the world in its time. Nowhere else can you see the city wall from a better angle. Tallinn B1.Kiriku Platform - the platform at the end of Kiriku Street faces west and offers a view of splendid and romantic sunsets. Tallinn B1.
Raekoja platsTallinns Old Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) is Northern Europes best-preserved medieval town hall square and was built at the beginning of the 1400s. Tallinn Old Town H 1-2.
St Olafs Church (Oleviste kirik)Climb the stairs of the St Olaf Church and you will discover not only the lower town bene-ath, but also the magnificent palaces facing the slopes of Toompea Hill, and the upper town. The old town of Tallinn is divided into a lower and upper part. The lower town was inha-bited by hanseatic traders and the upper town, or Toompea, was inhabited by nobility. Lai 50, Tallinn Old Town E2.
Katariina kikBlink and you might miss this narrow passageway off of Vene. Built in 1246, St. Catherine's Monastery (Pha Katariina kloos-ter) is the oldest building in Tallinn. This passageway is also known as the Latin Quarter of Tallinn, and where you can find one of Tallinns first Italian restaurants. Tallinn Old Town H 2-3.
RaeapteekThe Town Hall Pharmacy (Raeapteek) is one of Europe's oldest pharmacies, which still operates in its original location, on Town Hall Square. Tallinn Old Town H1.
Toompea CastleThe Tall Hermann Tower (15th century) on the southwest corner of the hill, and the blue, black, and white Estonian flag signify indepen-dence and freedom for Estonians. Today, Toompea is the centre of Estonian government and the Riigikogu (parliament). Look for the pink building behind the Russian Orthodox Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral. Tallinn B1.
Kiek in de Kk and the Bastion TunnelsThe Kiek in de Kk tower is the entrance to historical underground bastion tunnels. In Soviet times they were supposed to serve as bomb shelters and protect the communist elite in case of a war. Kiek in de Kk means look into the kitchen in Low German, as this was one of the main things soldiers spent their time doing while on the lookout for intruders. Kiek in de Kk dates back to the 15th century. The tower is 38 metres tall, and the walls are four metres thick.Komandandi tee 2, Tallinn B1.
KGB MuseumA fascinating museum about Soviet history in Estonia is located on the top floor of the Viru Hotel. The hotel rooms were under KGB sur-veillance. The rooms were equipped with microphones, and small holes were made in the walls, where cameras could be placed to take pictures of hotel guests.
The museum is only accessible by guided tour. Tours run daily and are held in English, Finnish, Russian, and Estonian. English tours fill up quickly so bookings are recommended. Viru vljak 4, Tallinn B2.

The largest are Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, and Muhu.Lakes: Lake Peipsi, located on the border between Russia and Estonia, is Europes fourth largest lake (3,555km2).
Kalamaja & KopliKalamaja (Fish house) is a historic suburb filled with wooden houses and old factories. Since the 14th cen-tury, Kalamaja has served as Tallinns main fishing port and was home to fishermen and fishmongers. When the railroad connected Tallinn with St. Petersburg in 1870, many factories
opened. The colourful wooden hous-es you still see today were built in the 1920s and 1930s to house the grow-ing working population. Kalamaja has seen a revival over the last few years as artists and other bohemian types have moved in for the large spaces and cheap rent. Restaurants and cafs began to open, and the area con-tinues to grow .
Seaplane Harbour (Lennusadam)Kti 17 / Vesilennuki 6, TallinnBy tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city centre to the Linnahall stop.
Have you ever seen the hull of a real submarine from below? Or better still, crawled through the narrow living and working quarters of a fully refurbished sub from the 1930s? The submarine Lembit was one of two Estonian submarines built in the UK in the mid 1930s.
Another sight is an authentic rep-lica of the Short Admiralty Type 184 seaplane, a British two-seat reconnaissance, bombing, and torpedo carrying folding-wing seaplane used in the Estonian War of Independence in the early 1920s and later for mail service. The museum is located in the for-mer seaplane hangars built during WWI by the Russian tsar. The con-struction is architecturally unique since it was the largest armoured concrete ceiling in the world at the time of construction.
KadriorgKadriorg Park is the area that houses the Presidential Palace (Presidendi kantselei) and the Kadriorg Palace (Kadrioru loss), and the KUMU Art Museum. (All located on Weizenbergi). Kadriorg means Catherines Valley in Estonian, and dates back to the 18th century. The park and the palace were built
by Peter the Great, who apparently helped in its building. As was custom-ary at the time, the main house was named after his wife. There are plenty of other things to see in this beauti-ful and prestigious park. From the Kadriorg Palace, head straight along the park trail to the Russalka monu-ment, located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The famous Song Festival Grounds (Lauluvljak) are only a short walk from the park as well.
PiritaPirita is an area located a short distance to the east of the city centre and offers a variety of things to see and do. Start by visiting the ruins of St Birgittas Convent (Pirita klooster) whose colourful history dates back to the 15th century. A stroll through the ruins and the surrounds, including the small cemetery, is a moving reminder of the past. Its proximity to the Pirita River and the beach makes it perfect as part of a day excursion. The 2km long beach can attract up to 30,000 visitors a day in
summer. Also located a short distance from the beach is the citys Botanical Gardens (Botaanikaaed) and the famous Tallinn TV Tower (Teletorn), which is a must see as it not only pro-vides a number of interactive exhibits but also offers one of the best views of the city and the district. A starting point for information on these can be found at:St Birgittas Convent ruins (Pirita klooster)-Kloostri tee 9, TallinnTallinn TV Tower (Teletorn) - Kloostrimetsa tee 58A, TallinnBotanical Gardens (Botaanikaaed) - Kloostrimetsa tee 52, Tallinn.
Estonian Open Museum (Eesti Vabahu-muuseum)Vabahumuuseumi tee 12, Tallinn.
Visitors can catch a glimpse of the Estonian countryside and village life
from the past. The venue has a dis-tinctive rural atmosphere that includes various farm buildings as well as its own church, tavern, and schoolhouse. Several mills, a fire station, fishing net sheds, a dancing area, and a village swing add to the character of the place. Some of the countrys iconic windmills can also be seen. Various demonstrations, displays and interactive activities help bring the past to life and provide visitors with a fun and educational experience.
Patarei Prison (Patarei Vangla)Kalaranna 2-2aBy tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city centre to the Linnahall stop.
Patarei Prison gives an eerie glimpse into gloomy Soviet era prison life. For a small entrance fee you can take a self-guided tour through the dark halls of this old sea fortress that has served as a bar-racks, and then as a prison during Soviet times.

Race to the End of the WorldThe fascinating tale of conquering the South Pole.
TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV
For those of you not familiar with the story, it goes like this: Norwegi-an explorer Roald Amundsen and British Navy officer Robert Fal-con Scott were on two separate expeditions in 1911 for the South Pole. Sadly however, one was not to return. The Race to the End of the Earth is a tale of adventure and hardship, triumph and sorrow, and of course courage and bravery.
There are three things I abso-lutely love about this exhibit. One, it really is larger than life. The story is truly remarkable and its hard not to leave inspired. Two, there is something for everyone to learn. And three, while the story begins with Amundsen and Scott, it continues with other who have been just as crazy and their stories are fascinating too, explains Ann Virkus, in charge of sales for the exhibit, exuberantly.
The exhibit starts from the beginning of the tale and shows that while the two men embarked on the same mission, their routes, teams, and equipment were very different. Scott's team was very much based on hierarchy, whereas Amundsen chose men that were the very best at what they did, explain Virkus.
Partially reconstructed base camps are on display, as well as
equipment, photos, maps, and more. Upon entering the exhibit, you can pick up a card that shows you which team you are a part of, then as you wander through the exhibit you can follow the story of that team member. For children there is a passport, where they can collect stamps at each of the stops.
As we mentioned before, there is much more than just Amundsens and Scotts tales. Learn about nature and wildlife in the Antarctic, climate and weather conditions, as well as modern day Antarctic exploration, which also shows what a modern-day camp looks like. And did you know that Estonians have a long his-tory of Antarctic exploration too? The exhibit finishes with a look at Estonians who have gone to Antarc-tica and their missions there.
In addition to the exhibit, the Seaplane Harbour will also be hold-
ing a lecture series called Maritime Forums every second Tuesday. In October the schedule is: Why Are We Fascinated by the Antarctic? on October 6 and Lessons from Ant-arctica: Burden of Fire on Octo-ber 20. On Halloween, October 31, spend a night at the museum and watch The Thing trilogy (The Thing from Another World (1951 / 87 min), The Thing (1982 /109 min), The Thing (2011 / 103 min)) just like the Antarctic explorers do at the beginning of winter. More info as well as schedules can be found at: www.lennusadam.eu

Tallinns public transport system consists of trams, buses, and trolleys. All three use the same ticketing system. In 2013, a smartcard ticketing system was introduced. If you plan on using public transport more than three times, this is your best option. Smartcards can be purchased and topped up at R-Kiosks and are transferrable. The Tallinn Card also allows you to use public transport for free. Both cards must be validated by touching them to the orange card reader. Detailed route plans are displayed at all the stops, or plan you journey ahead of time on-line at: http://soiduplaan.tallinn.ee
