Better apartment, Tampere visit

The bathroom has a sauna!

Well, so much can change in one day! I saw a terrific apartment this morning, and I said we would take it! It's in a good location, pretty new, the bathroom is HUGE and has a sauna!

The kitchen is very modern and has a dishwasher. The balcony, living room and bedroom are also big. It only has one bedroom, but it's worth it to get such a nice-looking place. It is on the fourth floor, has garage parking and even covered parking for bicycles.

Here are some photos:

Tampere

Sunday, we drove two hours to the city of Tampere. It was the capitol of Finland way back when Russia ruled the country, so you definitely can see the Russian influence. There was a really cool outdoor market with mostly stuff from France (my new French friends would have liked it!) The bread, especially, was just like we get when we are in France. And you know it was good, because that booth had the longest line of people waiting to buy it!


Unfortunately, because it was a Sunday, most stores and museums were closed. I will have to go back on a weekday. Tampere even has a Lenin museum, which I think would be really interesting.

I couldn't resist buying a fresh pain au chocolat! It was devine!

Reminds me of Aix-en-Provence
