We are doing a drive-by of Enschede. We woke up at 3:30AM (finland time, aka GMT+2) to get ready, get to the airport, and take a flight to Amsterdam at 6:15. We were in the rental car by 9:20, Amsterdam time, or GMT+1 for the time buffs out there (Mike wisely suggested asking for a "real" wagon after the pseudo station wagon [what we call a hatchback] first offered by Hertz, and we suceeded).
Then we made our way to Enschede with the intention of picking up the pups and driving straight on to Haderslev DK. Fortunately our houseguests offered to vacate the premises for 24 hours, while we realized that it would be wiser to get all our gear in order before setting off again.
Without further ado here are a few images from Tampere. The conference ROCKED! Even Mike is now convinced of the merits of the way of the composting toilet.
Some images to hold you over:
The mustard gnome at the Plevna Brewery in Tampere
Tampere clouds
Little guy taking a rest on the hike to Kauppi
PS- Steph, now I do know what an incinerating toilet is... but more on that later...
PPS- Kiitos means thank you in Finnish, and is about all we managed

Sounds like a great trip! I hope that there will be a post on the waterless toilet later.
I too look forward to the update on the composting toilet. Great pic of James, have a great time in Denmark!
Glad you had a great trip. Hope the second leg goes as well. Can't wait to hear all the toilet updates.
But how did he hike in bare feet??!!
Peg- it wasn't so much hiking as sitting and putting leaves in his mouth...
