Amber! Nesting dolls and vodka. Linen in Tallin.

 

Frankly, I found the selection of amber so overwhelming that I didn't buy anything. Also, I was told by one clerk in a Russian souvenir shop that some amber was melted down and remolded. That was not what I wanted and put the one necklace I was holding in my hand back.

 

Before you buy nesting dolls, check them all out. When we got home, we opened ours and found that as we got to the smaller dolls the workmanship got worse. The smallest doll is terrible; it looks like a kid took a marker to it.

and one more prompt question - is it better to buy everything ashore? on board it is more pricey?
