Day 30 - Estonia, Country # 13
Day 30 Monday September 12
Our drive from Riga to Tallinn, Estonia (Country # 13) was a straight one without any stops for sightseeing. It was a relaxed drive and for the most part I put the car on "cruise control", even the accelerating and slowing down could be controlled without the pedals.
Crossing international borders in Europe feels like travelling from one city to another without any restrictions.

We reached our hotel, Radisson Blu Olumpia in Tallinn at 3.00 pm
Having covered a little more than half the journey our cars need to be serviced. AO has suggested to get the cars inspected and have booked a service centre for all the cars in Tallinn. So at 3.30 pm we went and handed over our cars to Ideal Auto. We expect to get them back tomorrow evening.
We returned to the hotel by local tram and then had dinner at Chakra restaurant in Old town.
Today's experience gave me another insight. If I can live my life without fretting and fuming (like putting my life on 'cruise control') over little things, I will still reach where I want to be without the hassles.
After dinner some of us had a jamming session with Tushar on the guitar in his room. He plays very well and we sang old Kishore Kumar songs.
