The high temperatures in Kenya have persisted longer than norm. This makes me long for Estonia, a place whose temperatures are as chilly as they can get. I took a trip last year to The Republic of Estonia, a nation in Northern Europe bordering the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland and sharing land borders with Latvia and Russia.
To get to Estonia, I had to go through Istanbul in a journey that took approximately six hours from Nairobi. I had some spare time to explore a little bit of Turkey whose skyline I find remarkable. One has to get a temporary visa to get into the city. Luckily, I was well prepared. When dawn broke, I was back at Istanbul's Atatürk Airport ready for my flight to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
