We said goodbye to Tampere
We left Tampere on 8th January 2006 in the morning. The weather outside still remained -5°C no snow and not windy. We took the local bus from Hostel Tampere to Tampere main railway station. From there, we started our journey to Helsinki. A week holiday in Helsinki, then, I have to say goodbye to my girlfriend. I miss her.
We still used train as our transportation. This time, we tried the other type of train to Helsinki. We took Express train from Turku to Tampere, now we were on board InterCity2 train. Why 2? Because it is double-deck train, we chose our seats at the upper level. It was great, we can see the winter scenery clearly. I bought our train tickets online and print it out on paper. We just need to show to the train conductor when we were on board. During the journey, passengers can buy coffee, tea or water or some snacks from a mobile minibar. You can pay your drink or snacks with cash even with credit card. They have all devices attached on the mobile minibar.
