I needed a sleep in this morning. Kaoru wokeme to say goodbye. I didn’t realize how late itwas (~9). So off she went to do some shopping. I had a shower and did a couple ofwork things, had a Skype with mum and dad,and was ready to leave myself around 10.15.

I got some breakfast (pastries from the supermarket) and caught a bus uptown, and went to the museum of technology. I got there just as it opened (11.00), so it was lucky i didn’t get there any earlier. I had a slow, nostalgic look at the history of technology and was amazed at what has been accomplished over a relatively short time.

There were a couple of extra buildings in the museum; these were from when it was a hydro electric plant. So i got to look around them too. And given it was raining, it was a good way to spend the morning. But eventually it was time to leave. I caught a bus back down towards the city. It was a bit of a walk from the bus stop to the market. Once i had grabbed a pastry i met Kaoru at our planned meeting point, to get on an Urban bus tour – a tour of the neighborhood’s.

We got a seat upstairs and looked at what we could through the wet windows. We stopped at the Aribba factory and museum, so got to have a 40 minute walk through there. The tour finally finished at about 3.

We went in to the main cathedral, and went down to the crypt to see an art exhibition that was on down there. On our way to the train station we suddenly realised we were outside the money museum so checked out their exhibition too.

At the train station we thought we would buyour train tickets for tomorrow. We got a number and it was going to be a long wait! i asked at the information counter and was told we could buy them from an r kiosk. That sounded easier! So we got that done in a matter of minutes.

Once back at the house Kaoru had a shower and did a load of washing. We packed our bags for the next day and then went out for pizza for dinner at a normal dinner time!

After dinner i went out for a couple of beers with Tommi and Ville – it was Tuesday night, after all! So they took me to a craft beer brewery nearby. We then went back to the house for Ville to make pea soup for Pipsa (as she missed out last night). We had a chatand then went home.
