Day Three - Helsinki Tampere

This day I planned to go to Soumenlinna (Sveaborg) but got the directions wrong(Typical me?) so I decided the spend some time in the city core of Helsinki and go by tram for a bit. I love trams, you can see so much and its qutie comfortable. My thoughts about Helsinki is that I will soon return and see more sometime soon!
After eating and having icecream (More Ice than cream!) I decided to catch an earlier trian to Tampere, said and done. Back to the Hotel to pick up my backpacker and then away to the station. Got on the first trian, an Intercity train and it was a nice one. a lot of space for you, not at all narrow between the seats. I could even fit my backpacker on the floor and have space for my feet. And the prices on trains in Finland arent that bad at all, I paid 25.90 euro from Helsinki to Tampere.

Arriving in Tampere my friend Carol met me at the station and we went over to her place so I could take my soooo needed shower. Then we went downttown to met another Jaiku friend, Minna. I love Jaiku and my friends everybody is so cool and nice to met also in real life. So we sat at the restaurant Saha Terrace (Saha means Saw in Finnish) and I was treated to the most wonderfull Elk Pasta, was fantastic! Thanks both to Carol and Minna for a wonderfull evening with good food and lotsa talking and having a great time!
And sitting there enjoying the sun and the talk was exactly what this trip is about for me, meeting friends and trying my own powers to see what I can do.I'm now feeling as a much stronger person and feel more at ease with myself, this travel has given me new powers and now I know that the only limit is me for what I can do.

Today (Thursday) will be Tampere day and I will explore what Tampere is all about, some museums are planned and then a look around the city.
