Arrival of the guests

On Thursday, 30th September, we met the guests from Portugal, Italy, Poland and Turkey in Tallinn. We started the ride from Kadrina about 8.15 and reached Tallinn about 9.30. Firstly, we went to Metropol Hotel where we waited for the guests to take their luggage and put it into the bus so we could start our excursion. We had a city tour where we drove around the city and our English teacher Hegi Soosaar talked a little bit about the history of Tallinn and Estonia.





We had a little stop at the Song Celebration Grounds and then we headed to Rocca al Mare Open Air Museum. There we had one task - some questions. We were divided into groups – every country had its own group with some Estonians. The task was to visit certain places to find answers to the questions. We had an hour for the assignment and then at 1 pm we had lunch.




At 3 pm we started our tour in the Old Town which was led by Hegi Soosaar again. It lasted about an hour and then we had free time about two hours. Some students went around with their teachers, others hanged around with some Estonians visiting McDonalds or Viru Centre. We started to move towards Kadrina before 6 pm. All day went very well – we had wonderful weather and after all we were on the schedule. We even left the capital before we had planned. Many of us were tired after the trip but I think and hope that all the guests enjoyed it. We arrived at Kadrina a bit after 7 pm.
