road trip to tampere II.

the night we spent at our friends' place in Tampere it snowed all over Finland and the day after everything was white and soft. that morning Annika took us to Pyynikin näkötorni: a panoramic tower from the 1830's that stands on a hill above the city. from the top of the tower the view was fantastic and the freshly fallen snow and a few rays of sunshine made everything even more special.
road trip to Tampere - part II:
Nikomat EL - Lomography Color Negative 400
at the bottom of Pyynikin näkötorni there is an old charming cafe famous for its doughnuts - the most delicious in Tampere according to someone. it was cold on top of the tower and a munkki with a cup of glögi were exactly what I needed: definitely the most delicious doughnut I have ever tried!
P.S. happy February! ♥

    1. Thank you, Sara! We do not have a car either, but sometimes we rent one and get around. Is it expensive to rent cars in Portugal?

    3. I see, too bad! In Finland everything is so expensive, that renting a car is just another expensive thing to do. We cannot afford it every time, but some times we try!

    1. Thank you, Silvia! ♥ The first snowy days are always nice... then it starts to get a bit boring, especially in the city. Glögi is quite similar to vin brulè, but I drink a non-alcoholic version of it.
