We still had three or four more later-afternoon hours to explore around town after leaving the Linna.

We crossed the river on this little ferry, in order to check out the left bank.
3394
Thanks, ferry! Therry.

We stopped back in at the Maalaistentalo for refreshment at a bar named Alvar (aptly), and it had these nice Aalto lights and chairs, as see below.

At the main railway station, waiting to take the train a short way down to the ferry terminal.
