Estonia!

My 4-day trip to Tallinn ended with me falling into the “Tallinn trap”, almost three months later and I’m still in Estonia! When I do leave this country, I’ll be taking a suitcase full of Vana Tallinn cream with me…

While I was in a very nice hostel (Tallinn Backpackers), I made a massive chocolate mousse…

20-eggs, half a kilo of dark chocolate, half a bottle of Vana Tallinn.  One amazing chocolate mousse!

Warsaw & Krakow, Poland

Poland has amazing chocolate. Seriously, you haven’t tasted chocolate until you visit Poland or Lithuania. Despite me usually not being much of a fan of vodka, I actually love some of the Polish vodkas.
