Cultural Tampere


Onwards for a cultural view of Tampere - well as much as we could handle after an early morning, a seminar delivery, and it was cold and drizzly - that's my excuses all sown up anyway! The building is the library designed to look like a bird, love the statue of newspaper readers - celebrating 100? years of reading in Tampere??? ok that will be corrected by Peppi I am sure if she reads this:-)

Sandy and Peppi admiring a large ball floating on water, and slowly turning - don't know what Sandy is laughing at there?

And then to the Moomin Museum at the back of the library which was fascinating - and I loved the house especially.
After a little nana nap we had dinner with Peppi at great Indian restaurant - our cravings for hot spicy garlicky food soothed quite nicely. Then off to a couple of bars to experience Tampere nightlife, and then goodbye to Peppi for now and off to Helsinki.
