May 2, 2009 - Central Finnland

Third day feeling like a kid again? Why not! A visit to a zoo and then swimming in a sea sure can make you feel childlike! An hour south from Rovaniemi is the small town of Ranua with its only claim to fame, an arctic animal wildlife habitat. Content with our visit, we continued driving southwest to a city called Oulu. ... Interestingly, the ENTIRE city of Oulu (including the campgrounds and beach areas) are set up with free wireless internet. ... So, one can sit anywhere in the city and use the internet as much as one wants.Third day feeling like a kid again? Why not!
