BRITISH COUPLE leave ESTONIA after 6 months and finally head to FINLAND - TALLINN TO HELSINKI ⛴

British couple leave Estonia after 6 months and finally head to Finland - Tallinn to Helsinki Ferry crossing
After an unplanned six months living in Estonia (due to the pandemic) and driving around the entire country, we spent our final days in Tallinn Old Town catching up with friends and ticking off a few places that we wanted to see before we left, such as going inside Paterai prison which was truly haunting learning about the communist terrors that took place there. We also made our way over to the Kumu art museum as well as going to see the Christopher Nolan movie Tenet which was filmed right here in Tallinn.
We enjoyed strolling along those cobbled streets a few more times and realised how lucky we are to have spent so long living in this city during such a unique time where the streets have been empty of tourists. Tallinn really feels like home to us now and packing up to leave was emotional but we know we’ll be back, we love it far too much not to.
We spend our final day running all around the capital city Tallinn getting some errands done before finally getting the ferry we were supposed to get months ago and heading off to the next country - Finland!
We were so excited to be moving on to another country but as you’ll see here it’s been fun to look back at the last 6 months of adventures we’ve had in Estonia - Arriving in March just as the borders closed and deciding to cancel ongoing travels and stay put indefinitely, watching the city and country slowly come to life in spring, exploring Tallinn - museums, memorials, beaches, the Medieval Old Town, Telliskivi, baltic plunges, TV Tower, we even starred in a real medieval movie, Made the front cover of a National Estonian Newspaper and made friends and memories to last us a lifetime!
Now we continue our journey around the world because as a wise friend said to us recently, “Never let your memories become bigger than your dreams.”
Upcoming videos!
Join us next time as we head out on our first day in Finland and explore the capital city Helsinki!

A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this KZbin channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)

Think we managed to find the only bottle recycling machine that didn’t work!😅 pleased to hear they have them in NZ too, hopefully when we get there we’ll use a machine that works! ♻️

[@TheAverageTourist]

Such an emotional ending to your Estonian adventures. Too bad that bottle machine didn't work. Such a drag when you put in the effort to do the right thing and recycle and it doesn't work out. Talinn heroes saving a pigeon 👏 Loved your look back at your time in Estonia and I remember your jumps into the Baltic!! Great stuff guys ❤

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes we tried so hard and had always planned to recycle them but hopefully someone will have seen them there and had more success with it. We were so pleased to help the pigeon it was so distressed hitting the windows! It was really fun looking through all our Estonia footage, those Baltic plunges seem so long now, so many happy memories. Thank you for watching! ☺️

[@lagritsalammas]

The funniest thing was the fact there's another one of these machines at the location they went to next, in the car park between the local council and the big supermarket next door, as well as one at Balti Jaama Turg. But, oh well. :)

[@Explorcation]

Awww finally leaving Estonia, you two had some amazing experiences there. That bottle return was crazy frustrating! Too bad it didnt work properly. But the paintings around the drains on the ground are nice reminders. Rhubarb lemonade sounds great, and the 19 dollar ferry seemed like a great deal, the inside area looked so nice. Looking forward to your Finland adventures!

Awww guys wow such an emotional journey. We totally understand the excitement for the next country but sadness leaving the place you have called home the last 6 months. Cant even imagine after 6 months we were stuck in Japan 3.5 months and felt similar feels. Love that you guys got to say goodbyes to your friends and get to eat at some of your favorite spots before you left. So sweet that they held you luggage so you could run your errands without them and enjoy the day. Was the ferry 19 each or 19 for both of you?

Thank you for visiting Estonia and I wish you success on future trips. Nevertheless, I hope that Estonia always has a special place in your heart. As Estonia is a small country, you probably don't realise it, but you are already a local celebrities here and many people are talking about you :) Our government should give you some financial support because you are marketing Estonia to tourists on a very positive side. And I am absolutely convinced that some people will discover Estonia thanks to you! This is not a utopia that I am talking about, such support measures should exist. Anyway... It is not easy to reach the hearts of cold Estonians, but you did it! :)

Wow, thank you so much for saying such wonderful things. Estonia will always be very special to us and we hope to visit many more times in future. We are so pleased that our adventures during this most unusual year have put a smile on so many faces, we have received messages from people that have planned future trips around things in our videos and that truly makes all the hours of editing and filming so worth while! 😊

[@theijari]

Welcome to Finland. I hope you can get in because at the moment Finland has somewhat tighter Covid restrictions than Estonia. You maybe recommended or sent to 2 weeks quarantine (not 100% sure how it's done at the moment) but after that i don't think you're going to have any problems. It's highly recommended (but not mandatory) to wear facemask on public transport and in stores and those are easy to buy from almost any store or pharmacy. Especially the disposable masks. Most stores recommend paying with card instead of cash. In Helsinki region public transportation you need to buy ticket in advance before getting on board because bus drivers are not selling tickets and tram drivers stopped selling tickets few years ago. Also trains don't sell tickets onboard except maybe long distance trains (again that is something i'm not 100% sure of) Tickets can be bought from R-kiosks and some stores and with a HSL smartphone app (which is slightly cheaper than buying from kiosks or stores). Edit: That same app also has a route guide that can help you get around around Helsinki region using public transport, bike or walking.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much for all the info 😊 we used the HSL app which was really easy to use and figure everything out, it’s a great set up!

[@theijari]

@@TideKnotTravellers No problem. At least it's cheaper than taxi and it covers bus, tram, metro, commuter trains in HSL area and the ferry to Suomenlinna sea fortress but i think that place is best seen in summer and difficult to explore fully with this much snow as we have right now.

Actually every supermarket have bottle recycling machines, on your route u had a few of them like at Rimi. Also you tried to put yoghurt bottles, they are not deposited (you didnt pay 10c for them), only drinking bottles with deposit and [A] or [B] sign on them can be returned. But still very funny, how super easy bottle returning process turned in throwing them into garbage :D P.S last error message on machine said that last bottle was unrecongized, so you should remove that, and then press button and get you money :D (someone got lucky that day)

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We tried 2 Rimi’s the one opposite Depoo in Telliskivi didn’t have a machine so we messaged friends and were told to try Viru shopping centre, oh well hopefully someone benefited from our lack of bottle recycling expertise😅

Great video folks. When I was living there I used to leave my empty evian,Al'coq, saku bottles in the bins attached to lamposts for the homeless. They used to go round at night and pick them up. I would put a few estonian kroons in the bottles for a surprise for them. Did you visit Old Hansa for dinner one night.? Great restaurant. Himalayan lamb every time we went there. Delicious. Is the beer house still there. ? Had some amazing nights there. Friday night's live band, and a different band upstairs midnight till 3am fri /sat. Great food too. There was a nimega bar / nimeta bar in the old town .used to be owned by a English guy. Used to show the English football in there. There was a Russian restaurant called Trokia, was in the worlds 100 best restaurants at the time, although to be honest, when we went there,I'd of been happier in a harvester. Good luck guys.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

What a great idea! We should’ve just done that with our bottles. Hopefully someone who needs the money found our bottles and recycled them successfully😊 we went to Olde Hansa a few times, it’s a great place!

10:49 Why did you look up the most remote and abandoned station, usually stores have one attached on the back or sides that is taken cared of several times every day. On the screen it say's "unrecognised bottle!" with red and bottom left it tells you "Support number 6005626 w w w,taara,ee", that button is to get your check and on the small building/unit there's somewhere marked where you can take the check to to get the money (usually the store that is attached with), also you can go to the store it is attached to and tell the mashine is broken and you allready inserted this number of bottles but it did not give you the check so to reinburst you guys (also mention you have it all in video). They will fix the issue and give you the money (might need to show the video but usually if it is not an absurd number they will give it after they confirm the device is not functioning correctly and giving check's, that takes only fes seconds to confirm). The station you found seeme to be abandoned, liderally, i was amazed there was electricity still on. All the ones in my life i have seen have been in much better condition. May i ask where it was ?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Next time we’ll get it right😅 but we tried so hard to find one, we thought it would be as simple as going to our local Rimi but none of them had a machine.

[@RaidoRaud]

Actually deposit packaging system in Estonia works very well, like almost perfectly. I remember there were even news that somehow Estonians are returning more bottles than circles in the market. Some "clever" guys from Finland/Latvia/Lithuania collected bottles there (no deposit package system there) and took them to Estonia. But good news ends there, all other waste materials are not collected properly. Right now quite a scandal here, how people wash their packaging, sort them out correctly, but almost all of it still ends up in oven and not recycled.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It's good to hear it works well. Hopefully someone was able to make use of ours and deposit them correctly somewhere.

@@TideKnotTravellers Yes, you were lucky. You are two of the only people I know who had luck from the lockdown! I am a US citizen; born in the US; however, my ancestry is from the Czech Republic; but I have never been to Europe, though I certainly grew up with many elements of the Czech culture. I think all of the countries that were behind the iron curtain are just beautiful, almost unspoiled and they retain so much of their culture and history, yet they are modern enough to offer conveniences that we westerners take for granted. It seems like Estonia was also economically a good place to be, not as expensive as western Europe or even compared to Finland. Is that true? Thank you for making so many beautiful videos. I knew Tallinn was beautiful from photos, but I had no idea just how beautiful. In fact, the whole country of Estonia is as picturesque as it can be! I wonder if Estonians realize just how fortunate they are; though it is obvious that Koit does!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes, Estonia is more affordable than Finland but not much different price wise than Western Europe, food and accommodation is similar to what you’d pay in say Italy, Spain or France. Since doing this series we have had lots of messages from Estonian’s saying they loved seeing their country here, it’s so easy to overlook beauty on your own doorstep. You’re right though, Koit certainly appreciates Estonia!🇪🇪😊

There is snow there now but this was filmed at the start of Autumn😊

Did you notice the languages similarity on the screen? (Finnish "Tervetuloa laivaan" - Estonian "Tere tulemast laevale" and Swedish "Valkommen ombord" and English "Welcome on board")

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Ahh yes they're similar. After spending a while in this part of the world we can just about differentiate them ☺

[@Mediaflashmob]

@@TideKnotTravellers when you come to Sweden, you see how Swedish is similar to English. At least much more similar than Finnish and Estonian! Maybe the spoken language is not 100% intelligible, but the written one is very recognizable! I mean the vocabulary, grammar and the way of making phrases.

I'd love to carry a piano there :)

Hi! I am thinking to go to Tallinn for several months. Is it a good time to be there from March-June? I wanted to avoid cold weather 😅 as well, i am not sure when the video was shooted but there seems to be a sense of normalcy there, are there Covid restrictions such as masks mandate etc?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes, definitely a great time to go. Although it was still a bit cold when we arrived in March. To completely avoid cold weather maybe visit April-August. All our Estonian videos were filmed from March-September 2020. No one is wearing masks in Estonia they are respectful and give space, it was lovely and normal there. 😊

It only occurred to me now: in our culture a bird trapped inside a building is considered an ill omen. It could represent the soul of a deceased one unable or unwilling to leave the mortal coil. It is imperative to set the bird free, which is exactly what you did. A gesture highly symbolic, I think - now you yourselves were finally able to move on to other places, to new horizons.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Wow, that is strangely lovely. It was literally moments before we left too! ☺️

[@xwiirastusx]

20:10 a random fact: in Mandarin Chinese Tallinn (or Tal Lin) means "forest of towers". How accurate!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

That is very apt! ☺️

Humalakoda makes good beers. I gather you two are not into that stuff.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We love Humalakoda, they have a great selection of beers you're right 👌🏼

[@Kevvu1989]

Why you didnt include cinema and art museum in this video?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We did at the beginning when we mentioned them, but just the outside as we didn’t film inside🙂

[@xwiirastusx]

@@TideKnotTravellers Did you enjoy KUMU? You gave us a snippet of the exhibition of the works by Vello Vinn, a psychedelic/surrealist Estonian artist. Adore his stuff.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

@@xwiirastusx we did enjoy KUMU although we have to admit we know very little about art but we wanted to visit because we heard so much about it. It was fascinating (even if we didn’t understand it all) 🙃

Moved from Helsinki to Tallinn one and half year ago and it was best decision in my life. Life in Finland sucks, Estonia rocks, there is no way me to go back to Finland anymore. Luckily Estonia and Finnish languages are very similar and I can already have a conversation with people in Estonian language! Bought an apartment in Telliskivi, quite near of the yellow building where you were located. If I would know back then that you were in Tallinn, I definitely would came to say hi to you and maybe show some places. :)

Are you Finnish? - No just getting started. I learned some basics already: Hei is 'Hi, Hello' (also used as 'Bye') and Kiitos is 'Thank you'-

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Craig's way of remembering Kiitos was 'chuck your keys' 😆
