    A Ferry-Tale Journey, from Tallinn to Helsinki

    Byemfletche March 27, 2025April 26, 2025

    The ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki is a great way to experience two capital cities in a short time, and to experience a little bit of the Finnish culture (without the costs of a stay in expensive Helsinki!). A two hour ferry ride each way makes it possible to weave into most Tallinn itineraries.

So what IS a Brummie?

Welcome to my World!

Alright bab?

I’m Emmalene, a forty-something born and bred Brummie. Married to Chris. AKA Mr Fletche, taker of photographs, driver abroad and long-suffering travel companion.

I’m a big advocate of eating, drinking and supporting local independent businesses.

But travel is my passion. Simple, easy travel. Here you’ll find how to cram all the sights into a weekend city break. Accidental hikes. Travel fails. Honest rambling travel diaries. Where to find craft beer, gin and street food.

We fit travel around full-time jobs, making the most of weekends, Bank Holidays and maximising those precious annual leave days!

Apart from travel, I love to read books, listen to music, drink gin and visit the theatre.

I always love to hear what you think so please like, comment or share!

Happy travelling…home and abroad!
