I just returned to Helsinki from Estonia 🇪🇪 I couldn’t resist the price from Helsinki - €38, however, for that price I had to take the “red eye”, returning after midnight. The trip on the Tallinn Star takes about two hours each way from Helsinki/Tallinn. Tallinn is one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tallinn is the major political, financial, cultural and educational center of Estonia. Often dubbed the Silicon Valley of Europe, it has the highest number of startups per person in Europe and is a birthplace of many international companies, including Skype. The city is to house the headquarters of the European Union's IT agency. Providing to the global cybersecurity it is the home to the NATO Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. It is ranked as a global city and has been listed among the top 10 digital cities in the world. According to the Global Financial Centres Index Tallinn is the most competitive financial hub in Northern Europe and ranks 42nd internationally. The city was a European Capital of Culture for 2011, along with Turku in Finland. Tallinn’s Old City,reminded me of Gamla Stan in Stockholm, but is less congested and prettier.#estonia# #tallinn #unescoheritagesite #balticsea #medievalcities #travelnortheurope
I had a long conversation with the guy operating this. He’s from Serbia 🇷🇸. He states that the brands of coffee they use are ethically produced. “A quality product served with attention and affection can easily bring a smile to anyone’s face”. #bikecoffeeculture #helsinkifinland #ethicalconsumption #ethicallysourcedcoffee
I’ve been in Norway 🇳🇴 three days now and I’m hardly finding time to update facebook and instagram travel page, so hectic it has been. One thing I definitely wanted to do was a fjord Tour. I did it through “Norway in a Nutshell”. Even though it was on the pricey side it was definitely worth the spend. Below are some photos I took with my iPad. These are only of the chalets and the picturesque scenery surrounding them. I still have many more to post about the waterfalls and the fjords themselves. Is a fjord Tour on your bucket list?#norway🇳🇴 #fjordcruise⚓🌊🇳🇴 #norwayinanutshelltour
Located east of Treasure Beach, Lovers Leap is a sheer 1700-foot cliff overhanging the sea. The legend associated with the site is that during the days of enslavement two young lovers used to meet secretly on the adjoining Yardley Chase Plantation. The owner wanted the female for himself and arranged to have her lover sold. Not wanting to be separated, the two hand in hand plunged to their death. #loversleap #stelizabethparish #jamaica🇯🇲 #treaurebeach #calabashfestival

Charging Bull, which is sometimes referred to as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture that stands in Bowling Green in the Financial District in Manhattan, New York City. Originally guerrilla art, installed unofficially by Arturo Di Modica, its popularity led to it being a permanent feature. The 7,100-pound (3,200 kg) sculpture stands 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and measures 16 feet (4.9 m) long. The oversize sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity, leaning back on its haunches and with its head lowered as if ready to charge. The sculpture is both a popular tourist destination which draws thousands of people a day, as well as "one of the most iconic images of New York"[5] and a "Wall Street icon" symbolizing Wall Street and the Financial District. In Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan: A Historical Guide, Dianne Durante describes the sculpture: The Bull's head is lowered, its nostrils flare, and its wickedly long, sharp horns are ready to gore; it's an angry, dangerous beast. The muscular body twists to one side, and the tail is curved like a lash: the Bull is also energetic and in motion. #thebullofwallstreet #theragingbull #newyorkstockexchange #newyorkfinancialdistrict #chargingbull #bowlinggreenbull
