A little story from yesterday, my friend and i were in the old town of Tallinn and wanted to go to a market hall. We were a bit confused, so a street musican offered us help. They addressed us with "girls," and i was like "omg i'm one of the girls!" That put a smile on my face for the rest of the day 😊

The Walls and Barbican, Krakow, Warsaw

At the entrance to Krakow's Old Town, is the wall and Barbican. It's a small extension from the walls towards a strongpoint surrounded by a mote.

These walls are pretty cool but a little shorter than Tallinn's I think, but this one gives a good view down the street and of St. Mary's Basilica.

There's not too much to say but the walls are pretty cool on the inside too! It's surprising just how cramp they can be.

Here's a couple more shots of the wall while on the wall!

As I look though my pictures there's a lot of Krakow to cover. I've got a castle, the underground, town hall tower, and the ominously named "Dragon Den" to cover.

hey jay :) I'm gonna send this in English, so you can post it you feel like it. Gabrielle mentioned that you interrailed through the baltic countries recently. I'd love to hear more about that, or do you happen do have any posts you could link? <3 thank youuuuu and lots of love from a german girl in Chile

Hiii yess I saw @learnelle mentioning it, big 💝 to her <3

Oh that sounds so wonderful, I'm jealous even though I just came back lmao 💞💞 except for my travel diary I unfortunately don't have any helpful posts but I strongly recommend Tallinn and Riga! Both are beautiful cities, Tallinn's highlights include the old town, the Balti Jaama Turg (a giant market hall, gorgeous), the Kadriorg Palace and the Fahle Park and if you're into museums, the Proto Museum is so😩💝 in Riga, there's a free walking tour every day at 10am and 12am that starts at the Saint Peter's church and they have hella cute guides too👀the Central Market, the KGB Museum (including the guided tour), the national library, the Art Nouveau district and the Old Town ™ are all worth a visit and you can go on a boat tour for only about 14€

Apart from those two cities, Pavilosta in Latvia and Tartu in Estonia are supposed to be very beautiful as well :)

....if you'd like some Interrail tips just in case?👀

Not all train (and ferry) companies participate in the Interrail program so watch out when you're booking your tickets since the Rail Planner app doesn't warn you about invalidly booked tickets

The beloved Rail Planner app (🥲) also forces you to add your stops in the Baltics manually, meaning you can't just select a train/bus station without adding it yourself

Sometimes it's more comfortable to pay 15€ for a Flixbus than to waste 8-10 hours on a train that's making a big detour

If you're staying in hostels, avoid both the Lai 22 and the Old Town Alur Hostel in Tallinn 🥲

(the cinnamon sally backpackers Hostel in Riga is very nice tho)

Bring a lock like this ->🔒 it's always kinda useful

Download the public transport apps of the respective cities you're visiting, it makes everything a lot easier!

Hope I could help a little bit, please don't hesitate to ask if not and have fun on your trip!!!!✨✨✨

#that sounds so cool🫠💘✨ #inbox

Сегодня мы прогулялись по Таллинн. Город, как Тарту, тоже очень красивая. Мы видели городские ворота и стена, переулки, ратушную площадю, церковь, православный собор и дворец.

Мы также входили в букинистический магазин, в котором я купила книгу по-русски, но мне кажется, что она для меня ещё слишком трудная.

Перед посольство России было много плакат и картинк против вторжения в Украину и войны. Это было очень грустно. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

Today we walked around Tallinn. The city, like Tartu, is also very beautiful. We saw the city's doors and walls, alleys, the town hall square, a church, the Orthodox cathedral, and the palace.

We also went into a second-hand bookstore, where I bought a book in Russian, but I think that it is still too difficult for me to read.

In front of the Russian embassy, there were a lot of banners and posters against the invasion of Ukraine and the war. It was really sad. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

if it's not to personal an ask, what parts of Forks in Roads have been inspired by your "real" life?

Good question, and not too personal at all!

I can easily tell you that the Blue Quarter of Domino was inspired by the Old Town of Tallinn, Estonia mixed a little with the medieval parts of Norwich, UK. I’ve visited the former and lived in the latter and they worked well for how I wanted to portray that part of the Otherworld. I think every new place I’ve made up is based on something - The Bon Accord Ale House, while apparently being a real place in Scotland, is actually modelled on some of the beer halls I’ve been to in Munich, Germany.

In terms of everything else, I guess the questions I raise in the fic about our choices is something rather personal. Studying law and then my own interest in philosophy makes me always think about the societal structures we live in, and why we are the way we are. I used to be very black and white in my thinking, about what was ‘good’ and ‘right’ but having worked for and with some high profile people (politicians, judges, police etc) and having seen and read the worst humanity can do to itself on an individual and wider democratic level, life is full of so much grey. And it probably speaks to my own privilege that I can dive into some pretty horrible areas of what people do and (mostly) still have hope. A lot of people don’t get to feel that. Anyway, I guess I like dissecting the reasons people make the choices they do, and try to introduce empathy rather than judgement (something I often fail at), and that comes out in my writing.

I can also categorically say I have not stabbed someone in the hand. Oh, but fun fact! The scene with the cottage burning accurately describes how a fire behaves in those conditions, as well as the level of injury Erin sustained; Riven wasn’t just being nice, he HAD to open the window for the fire to spread as it did. I had to pick my partner’s brain (he’s a firefighter) to get it right. It’s called a ‘flashover’ and now I’ve said that I better check in with him to make sure I didn’t give him PTSD by having to describe in granular detail the injuries he’s seen 😅 so if you ever need to write about fire, I know a guy 😉

Thanks for this question Skye, I think it’s a certain palate that enjoys my writing and I am grateful that it has interested yours!

Yesterday I took a day trip to Estonia and it was...fabulous in all ways 😄.

The ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn takes just over an hour and let me tell you, these are NOT 'normal' ferries! I'm used to the big boring ones where there's row after row of seats, some food options, a gift store, and that's kinda it. This one had a casino, live band, tons of bars, a lounge, and cabins. It felt like what l would've expected a cruise ship to be like, except this one cost €24 round trip 😂. Oh, and on the way back basically everyone carried back crates and crates of alcohol (many even brought mini trolleys) since that's the Finnish way to do things - buy cheap alcohol from Estonia lol.

But let me backtrack - I first made a new friend bright and early at the tram stop when the tram decided not to stop for us 😁. Claire is an American who has been in Finland for the last 9 months and was also going to Tallinn for the day, so we ended up exploring the city together. We walked by all notable sights of interest that I had starred (Fat Margaret, the Three Sisters, St. Olaf's Church, Town Hall Pharmacy, Tallinn Town Hall, St. Catherine's Passage, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Toompea Castle, Tall Hermann, Viru Gate, etc.). I particularly liked the pharmacy as it's known to be the oldest continuously running pharmacy since 1422! It was fun to see what kinds of remedies were used back then - like boiled hedgehogs. Super loved all of old town and the colourful buildings of course, but I found the architecture in the newer parts of the city were also really cool (see the last pic).

Claire and I chatted the day away, were each other's photographers, sampled Russian dumplings for lunch, tried marzipan cake and chocolate pavlova, and altogether had a grand old time ⭐️.

Places to eat and drink whilst in Tallinn, Estonia [the list and descriptions are by weareglobaltravellers.com]

Olde Hansa – Probably the most popular restaurant and features on most blogs about Tallinn, but for good reason. The place has a real medieval atmosphere with rustic food and huge portions, local ale is served in clay mugs and the only light comes from the candles on the tables and around the hall. We only went for lunch but saw a few people getting the medieval feast which consisted of around 20 different sharing dishes and looked absolutely delicious!

Peppersack – Go for the sword fights, stay for the food! Sword fights are every evening at 8pm, we’d already eaten when we arrived so just had drinks but seriously regretted it as everything looked and smelt amazing.

Secret Garden Club – This restaurant/bar/club sticks out from the rest of the city as it is very modern and sleek, the food is a mix of traditional and modern. I opted for soup in a bread bowl which was fantastic.

Draakon – An authentic medieval pub, staff are in character, feels a bit like you are in a cosy cave, they have a very small traditional menu and I very much doubt they take card payments.

Beer house – Everywhere we go we always seem to end up in a German beer house! This place did not disappoint with live music, dancing, beer tasting and great sausages!

Labor – A very strange little bar we stumbled across where all drinks are served in test tubes, good for something a bit different and a bit of a boogie at the end of a night.

The Oak House Cigar Lounge – I have no idea how we ended up here! But my partner loved it. Hundreds of different types of cigars and whiskey (don’t worry they do wine too) in a small lounge with a members club feel.

Epic coffee – Located in the old town with all the herbal blends and nut milks. They do matcha too!

The times we had lookout over Tallin – Pop ‘Kohtuotsa viewing platform’ into your Google Maps
