We joined Erik on an enjoyable walking tour of Tallinn Old Town via a live virtual Zoom tour. With the Covid-19 travel restrictions in place for over a year now, this tour enabled us to see Tallinn in 'real-time' even though we were more than 9,000km away, with a 5-hour time difference. Erik kept us enthralled with tales of Tallinn and Estonia through the centuries and shared nuggets of information from history, politics, geography, society, language, espionage etc. To our curious questions, he often had a 'long answer' which deepened our appreciation of the place and people. While we would have loved to visit Tallinn in person and join Erik's live tours, this was really as good as it gets under the circumstances - we could even hear (and almost feel) the wind blowing through the mic throughout the tour. Thanks, Erik, for a most memorable journey!
