Last week I had to make an unexpected trip to an Estonian Embassy to complete some consular matters that unfortunately I couldn't do online. As there is no Estonian Embassy in the city where I live, I had to find the nearest embassy to my home and that was Vienna, a four hour drive away. The Estonian Embassy in Vienna is only open to the public two hours a day (10am-12pm) so I had to stay overnight for my 10am appointment the next day. I didn't mind too much, Vienna is a lovely city, famous for its coffee houses and one of the most famous is Cafe Central - it's so popular that the queue runs out the door!
I'm always curious to know what the different Estonian embassies around the world look like. I've only been to a few but they are very often in stylish old buildings. This was the case in Vienna. One thing I particularly liked about the building was the old fashioned lift with its wooden interior and bench seat. You rarely come across lifts like that these days. The staff member I met with was nice, helpful and thorough. It was a pleasant experience.
