Pictures of Julia In A Cafe

While I was checking, out the Dominican Monastery, Julia looked around the streets and eventually took refuge in a cafe across the road (basically, she was bored) while waiting for me to come back. I decided to be annoying and take pictures of her.

Julia going "You want me to do what????"

Graffiti

As with any town, there is graffiti on the walls. Here's a few I found. First one is good. The others, not so good.

Kadriog Palace

Kadriog Palace was a palace originally designed for Peter the Great to replace the shabby place he had out the back. Apparently, the great man himself laid an amazing three bricks! Being the czar of a big chunk of the world is obviously hard work.

Front of the palace. Very cool.

Back of the building facing the gardens.

Gardens. Julia in the centre. Gardens were fairly crap. I guess they were working on them.

Tulip or something in the garden.

Cool picture I kinda liked when I was checking out all the paintings in the palace.

Kadriog Park. Love the shades of green. very beautiful and very different to the forests that I'm used to in Australia. Main difference that I notice is the shades of green.

Soviet Soldier

In search of soviet nostalgia, I sought out the statue of a soviet soldier in front of the Estonian National Library.
