Ferry To Estonia, Anyone ?

Arrived in Tallinn at 530a.m. on the over night ferry and explored the old town for a day before joining the alcohol-starved Finns back to Helsinki. Tallinn was very pleasant and full of medieval castles. We took time to enjoy a much-needed hot coffee and a quick breakfast and then explored the city square and the many churches. The ferry back was packed with Finns drinking cans and cans of duty free beers - a ferry ride requiring lots of patience, luckily it took only 5 hours; but you could imagine what it's like, sharing the ferry with almost 200 drunken Finns (they were mostly quite low key and quiet though) all slowly slipping into a state of quasi-Nirvana and started to fall down or sideways, all with a happy and satisfied smile hanging on their lips...Of note, around the ferry pier, we came across this funky "eagle-bear-man" statute, take a look, no idea who he was supposed to be !
