In addition to the comment I left below- I love your travel map! How did you create it? 😄

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

I used Google My Maps which lets you customise certain aspects and add pints of interest. It's quite basic but it does the job!

We love Tallinn! That museum is so incredible. It was our first time in a submarine as well. Remember what you told us: there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing!

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

That saying is so true! Yes I love the city as well, not a place you hear much about in the UK so I'm trying to change that.

The building you were in was not the old sea fortress which is actually the half-ruined building nearby, called the Patarei Fortress-Prison ("the Battery"), intended for a defensive fortress, but later mostly used as a prison. The building you were in is the seaplane hangar which was used to store seaplanes during WW1.

Thanks for the information, I must have gotten my words mixed up - thanks for the clarification. Amazing place!

I was just looking at visiting Estonia and seeing the Seaplane Harbour. The opening times on the website are a little bit confusing. It also apperares to be closed untill May 12th.

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

Really? That’s a shame. Just checked the official website and yes it does say it’s closed until the 12th May.

Good one!

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

[@Merike7173]

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Love these videos. Keep up the great work Matt

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

Glad you like them! Thanks for tuning in.

fun fact: 'kalamaja' is pronounced like kalamaia (stress on the 1st a), and in direct translation means 'fish house'

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

Thanks for the information, I have a video coming up in a couple of weeks where I walk around the Kalamaja district. Thanks for helping with the pronunciation!

Regarding the Prison, they're set to do a complete revamp of the whole building, which will include a new permanent museum in the place of the old temporary exhibition, which was really interesting but quite heavy and depressing. Unfortunately though it's not set to open for a couple years.

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

Thanks for the update, it's a shame in a way as I thought the temporary exhibition was gritty and real - very poignant. I;ll make a visit there in a few episodes time. Still, interesting to see what will become of the place - I'm sure they'll do a good job of telling the story. Shame it's not re-opening for a couple of years!
