Once again I'm trailing off course with the post I'm writing right now. It has nothing to do with eating out in Tallinn. Being away and different locations, specially the ones I've never been to do that to me.

Waffles with whipped cream, strawberries and chocolate topping, waffles with whipped cream, bananas, walnuts and chocolate topping and waffles with way more elaborate toppings. Need I say more.
