After Carneiro and Hoffmann arrived in Tampere we very fast made up the plan to visit the capital of Finland. On the 05.03.2010, after I overslept (2nd or 3rd time in my life) , we finally hit the road around 11 o´clock.
The drive to Helsinki was not that interesting so that´s why I´m going to skip it. Arriving in the city we were searching for a free and gratis parking-lot but Finland doesn´t seem to support cars in the cities and that´s why we had to pay 8 euros for a few hours (after seven the parkin lots are for free).
We immediately went to the Kauppatori (market place), next to the port, where we bought the karjalanpiirkka. We hadn´t really a plan what we should do or visit so we just started to walk. And that´s how it looks like when 3 luxembourgish guys are walking through Finland´s capital:
Next posts will be about the real great meal we had in Kappeli and the sauna/ice water swimming.

After 4 days, my good old friend Eric took the plane back to Luxembourg a few hours ago. At first I want to thank you (Eric) very much because you came up here to visit me! Second I want to thank you that I could sleep for 3 nights in a real comfortable bed (Paying for a single room and getting a double room rocks!) and for the coffees. I hope that you had a bit fun up here and that you are coming back again in April, as you said.
Yesterday we went to the Pyynikki park, which lays between the Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärv lakes, and it was just amazing, one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. What made me even more happy was that I shared it with you, Eric. Everything fitted this day in the parc, the lake was frozen, the sun was just going down and there were no people, so this experience will last forever!
Unfortunately we haven´t been to the Pyynikki Tower which offers a splendid general view of Tampere but who knows maybe we meet again up here.
After this wonderful experience we went for a coffee and met again in the evening to make a little party and arguing about the inexistence of dinousaurs…
Thx again dude!!

I finally found a little bit of time to upload some pictures here from Tampere. All the pics were taken by “the Schroeder family” and by myself. If you have any questions just ask. Enjoy the diashow!

Granddaughter and grandmother are freezing…
outside in the cold of…
Tampere.
We just stayed inside and realized that we have one big thing in common…

So after a long walk today and after 2 football games I finally found some time to upload a few pics.
Somewhere in Tampere between the gate of hell
and the unholy water
there was the path
to a little nice restaurant…
