PHOTO GALLERY:
A week in TAMPERE (Finland)
August 2009


Page Description

This photogallery consists of many photos during our 8 days vacation in Tampere, South of Finland. We have visited numerous places mostly nature areas like Pyynikki, Viikin Island (Viikinsaari), and Seitseminen Nature reserve, but also large shopping complex (Ideapark) the well known amusement park of Sarkanniemi, and a number of churches in central Tampere such as Alexander church, the cathedral and the old church. We spent many hours bathing in cool-water lakes (example Kaukajarvi) and roaming in the streets of Tampere centre.

Map of Viikin Island (known as Viikinsaari by Finish) an island situated in a very large lake, and about 10-15minutes away by ferry from central Tampere.

We visited Viikin island on a nice bright sunny day. We catched the ferry at the last minute (I think Malin won't forget the sprinting!) The photo shows the small island.

If you are trapped on the island due to bad weather, one can always say his prayes in this small chapel divided into 2 rooms - one for the Christian catholic (with an altar) and one for the Lutheran catholic (with a bible on a podium)

A good part of the island cosnsited of sparse to medium-dense forest and there was some artistic displays going on along the nature trail through the woods. Not very impressive usually but this was probably the masterpiece of the collection :-)

I remember the hassle it involved to get seated and eat on this day. First we tried for some 45 minutes to find a mexican restaurant we had dined in this area last year we were in Tampere, but we could not trace it. So we decided to hop in an Italian restaurant especially since it started to rain. We set on a table inside but was quite overcrowded and cramped with our 2 children and pushchair. A table got clear outside so we changed our table immediately while waiting for the order, but then we discovered that water was dripping on the table. It was not that bad so we stayed, untill another table got clear behind us and since this was well shaded by the umbrellas, no water was dripping. We changed again our place. Well I must say that the food was very good (ordered pan-pizza) and Miranda at a lot soundly!
