In Tallinn, Estonia, the Bastion tunnels played what part of their history? What were they for?

I'm sure it's required for their job, as English is a major language, and tons of travelers come in and out of hostels all the time! <br /><br />Yes, in the "viking" tavern it was very dark! It was lit up with just candles. My eyes had to adjust to the lighting when we first came in. And even though it was very dark, I thoroughly enjoyed it!<br /><br />The grassy, underground structures on the fortress island (Suomenlinna Island) were for military purposes, I believe. They sure do look like hobbit houses, though. :)Maegan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15977807269320765030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765728630249896635.post-26327865243194600592013-11-15T09:14:57.598-08:002013-11-15T09:14:57.598-08:00Dear Maegan, I hope the hostel clerks in these co...Dear Maegan, I hope the hostel clerks in these countries were speaking English to make it easier for you. In the picture of the Viking tavern it look like you could hardly see what you were eating. I love to see the half underground homes with the green grass roofs in Helsinki. Is this in the old historic section of town? or were they very common in this country? I am sure being underground the homes would be energy efficient. Did you get to go into one? How do they keep the walls and floors waterproof?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549154620510503813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765728630249896635.post-10370479873799307952013-11-13T08:07:08.106-08:002013-11-13T08:07:08.106-08:00The reindeer meatballs were incredibly delicious!!...The reindeer meatballs were incredibly delicious!!Maegan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15977807269320765030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765728630249896635.post-11358105065647961692013-11-13T05:55:50.493-08:002013-11-13T05:55:50.493-08:00So impressed you were able to go to that many plac...So impressed you were able to go to that many places in only 10 days! I think that definitely qualifies as a "trip of a lifetime!" How did the reindeer taste?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067446457666236423noreply@blogger.com
