Joke time
From Bretislav, in the Czech Republic:
A guy is flying to London checking in at the airlines counter with 3 suitcases. He tells the lady there: “I want the first suitcase checked through to New York, the second to Paris and the third to Bombay.” The lady says, “I'm afraid that won't be possible sir.” The guy says, “Why not? That's what you did to my luggage the last time.”
Ooops! An apology

Coffee, drink, dinner … Tallinn:
Maiasmokk is the most charming restaurant with a café overlooking the street on the ground floor where you can sip coffee or have drinks and watch the world go by. It’s tucked behind the main square but is easy to find. The best dinner the Beetle had whilst in Tallinn – and the competition was tough! Address: (1-2) Pikk 16, tel: 6464-070.
