Day four - Tampere by day
Today I have been doing Tampere, and for me it has only been an pleasure to explore this wonderful city! I have fallen in love a bit in the city itself, and also the friendly people here.
On todays agenda there were two inportnat thing to do: First a visit to see the fantastic steamengine, I cant resist old mechanics and this beauty was something else I tell you. The horsepower was 1658 when it was up and running, just check out the photos over at my flickr page! I spent a long time there thinking about the people working with it and how amazing it was. The engine was running the Finlays mill at the time from 1900 to 1955. A must see if you come to Tampere!
Second there is an Stone museum, and there I spent a long time. Wonderful. Amazing collection of stones. And the fossils is only them worth the price of the ticket!
After that over to an Wafell place recommended by Carol, I had an wafell with Goatcheese, strawberry jam and whipped cream. Nat a new combination to me, but it was delish really! And of course I had coffee with it! fter that I had to find a bus to take me to Pyynikki and the tower there, was told its one of the best views over Tampere. And it was wonderful, took both photos there nad slo did some bambusing (videos live) from the top. Great and fantastic! I was also told to have the cafe's donut and it was very sweet and good. Enjoyed the shadow there for quite some time as I was overheated after spending too much time in the sun. After that needed cooling down and resting a little I went by bus back to Tampere, the rest of the afternoon I spent in my favorite place in Tampere, the park near the waterfall.
In the evening Carol turned up nad we went to see the tryouts to the Olympics at the stadium. Carol has workmate that competes in 10 camp(?) so thats why. Anyway it was also something diffrent for me to see so it was kinda nice.
Then we went to an Japanese restaurant and had a wonderfu; Sushi, and also Sake of course! A place to come back too and the Sushi was one of the best I have ever eaten!
Now I'm sittibg here in Carol's kitchen for the last night this time. And I hope to return here one day not too far away. Thanks Carol for you incredible hospitality and also for the plans you made for me and I'm humbled to have you as my friend! Thanks!!
