Last time (after Estonian Open 2009) there was an excursion to the nuclear bomb shelter for the government of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic
that was abandoned in 1993, few years after the Republic of Estonia got back it's freedom, and what is now planned to be restored as a museum.
This time there will also be something to see, but hold your patience, because it's going to be a
surprise :)
