Holiday Club Tampere

... though I had eaten them in jam and tea. We also picked enough wild blueberries for a tart. I enjoyed the sauna immensely and thought my skin felt extra clean afterwards. Having a beer and sitting outdoors in a slightly cool evening (warm to a finn), in only a towel, is quite refreshing and relaxing. Unfortunately, there is no lake next to the house, as jumping in a cool lake is the perfect complement to the sauna. We did go swimming in a beautiful turf lake close by and I ...

... people. I definitely liked the feel of the city more than Jyvaskyla, just because it was bigger and had some more interesting architecture. Or maybe I just got bored of Jyvaskyla becasue I was there for a month. We got there and just wandered the streets for a bit and grabbed some pizza for dinner before taking a bus to the Tampere-Pirkkala Airport to catch our flight to London.

... seemed boring, the best part of the day came when I returned to my room to find a new room mate from Italy – Alberto. He was quite the character, coming down from Lapland where he promised that a scenic nature view but (in his words) Finland lacks undulations or excitement. And it didnt help that it was raining in Tampere then. We had a hearty exchange on traveling and as part of his job as a hotel receptionist in Florence ...

... The person ahead slipped into the trees with Lu close behind. Underneath, the ground was covered with dead leaves and twigs which crackled as he stepped on them. Afraid of giving himself away, he slowed down.

... of jet lag and a full program), but Ari had an opportunity for us too good for us to pass up. He managed to get us tickets to the opening of the first large shopping mall in Ylojarvi, a project in which he's played a major role. The function included drinks, nibbles, and a concert by the most famous band in Finland - Eppu Normaali. Everyone we spoke to about the band was extremely jealous that we were going to see them and Mike ...

... meanwhile it had started to pour again. There was one bridge I drove over a few times and we even drove down past the back of the cathedral once more. But eventually I turned into the hotel & David went in - but no, the hotel only had 8 parking spaces, and those were all now full, so we had to go back over that bridge and park overnight in a parking station. So we dumped the luggage there & had to drive away again. It was with great relief when we finally were parked for the ...

... on his work trip back to Australia. To the cold, haha Jay. I headed off to bed last night at about 10.30pm and took this lovely photo of the sun, it was on it way down, but I think it still had another hour in it before it disappeared into the ether. Not sure what time it came up this morning but when I woke up about 4am it was up, not rising but up. So I headed back to bed, for another couple of hours ...

Reissu on vain neljä päivää, joten voi olla että ehdin kirjoittaa blogiin vasta palattuamme, mutta katsotaan.

... are too in hospitality club". Tampere indeed prove to be an HC town when I called Raj, a guy from Sri Lanka who was a friend of my emergency host in Oslo and we went in a bar for a couple beers. We were alone in the bar until, by chance, two other HC members came by: an Iranian guy who had been to the Espoo meeting and a Finnish girl who had been trying to meet Raj unsuccesfully for a long time... During my lonesome wanderings in Tampere I also managed to see the orthodox ...
