My Three Best Kept Travel Secrets

December 5th, 2009 by Nancy Leave a reply »

Steph at 20 Something Travel and Lauren at Lonely Girl Travels tagged me to take part in Trip Base’s Three Best Travel Secrets Project. TripBase is creating a master list of favorite tips, restaurants, locations and activities from travel bloggers all over the net.

I dig the project for creating a massive network of travel bloggers, plus the chain letter form is retro fun. Much more fun actually than the last chain letter I received in 5th grade. I get to connect with other travel bloggers and share my three of my best kept travel secrets below.

Here they are:

Everythings bigger in...Estonia. Grab a beer and pretzel at The Beer House in Tallinn, Estonia. (Btw-appreciate Mr. Gnomes first official appearance.)

Travel Secret #1: Everything's bigger in...Estonia. Grab a beer and pretzel at The Beer House in Tallinn, Estonia. (Photo sanctioned by Mr. Gnome....And yes, that is Mr. Gnome, who is not a gnome at 6'3".)

#2 Travel Tip: EastWest Club in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Yes folks, those are beds on the beach.

Travel Secret #2: EastWest Club in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Yes folks, those are beds on the beach.

Travel Tip #3: Be super girly and have Afternoon Tea at Cafe Helmi in Porvoo, Finland. Try the Runeberg tart (named after the Finnish poet).

Sweet, eh?

Here are the folks who I’ve tagged to participate in the Tripbase project:

On a side note, the location of last week’s photo quiz was…………………..Banff, Canada. Great guesses by everyone and props to JoAnna for identifying the lake as glacial. :)
