Also, the minions insisted on presenting their food choices for the evening. I can vouch all choices were excellent, particularly the dessert with ice cream, strawberry syrup and marshmallows.

My Caesar salad with shrimp was here, too, quite good

On the last day of our road trip we went to two museums in the Tampere area; the spy museum and the police museum.
First, the spy museum. Reasonably cheap entrance fee. Comprehensive collection of all kinds of civilian, police and military kit from a variety of countries. Quite a few stations where one could DIY stuff, like use directional microphones to capture sound across the room, write in invisible ink, snoop network traffic, etc. lots of textual content of traitors, famous spies on the wall. No pictures from the spy museum as it wasn’t allowed. Spies have their secrets, etc.
The police museum is immediately adjacent to the police vocational school in Hervanta, an university suburb of Tampere. Free entrance, seems us tax payers pay for it. Three exhibits currently - police during 1917 (when Finland got its independence), a permanent exhibition of the police forces in Finland in general throughout 100 years of independence, a really nice exhibition for the kids. All were quite well done and the minions liked dressing up as real police in overalls, attend a high speed chase in virtual reality (the VR device is an Oculus) sitting in a patrol vehicle, do puzzles, etc. we spent a few hours here and while the spy museum is more interesting (IMO) > 12 year olds, the police museum works well for much younger ones.

All together we drove 1287 kilometers split over four days without any issues. Speeds between cities and towns were 80 or 100 km/h, Helsinki-Turku and Tampere-Helsinki were 120 km/h highway.
