En: Maarika stood on Toompea hill, trying to capture the best view of Tallinn's Old Town. Et: Ta on Tallinnas turistina ning naudib suviseid päikesepaistelisi päevi. En: She is in Tallinn as a tourist and enjoys the sunny summer days. Et: Järsku meenus talle, et ta otsib tualetti ning hakkas vilkalt ringi vaatama, kuid midagi ei leidnud.
