Day 6 of Baltic Cruise - Tallinn, Estonia

Today we took a cab outside Tallinn to go to church. We were welcomed very warmly, and found out that there are 3 sets of missionaries, 1 set of sister missionaries, and 1 married missionary couple. The church service was really interesting, since it was the first Sunday of the month, where people in our church bear testimony of their faith. One of the missionaries sat behind us and translated for us.
Afterwards, we took the city bus back to the ship, changed our clothes, had lunch, and then went out again. We saw old town, which had a nice onion-dome church and a worn palace. It appears that they are still trying to get things ready for tourism. Again, we were disappointed at how many gentleman’s clubs were there in old town, and it took so much away from the possible charm.
We sailed away that night, headed for St. Petersburg, Russia.
