| | July 7: Modern art, Nurmes, pizza |
 | | The journey to Nurmes was complicated by the fact that schedules had been changed to accommodate a large rock festival in the area. |
 | | After many mumbled announcements by the driver and helpful explanations from the ticket inspector, we ended up, alone, on the Nurmes platform, at 9 in the evening. |
 | | The fact that Finland's population is half that of London becomes apparent in the evening: Nurmes showed very few signs of life, apart from local youths sitting in parked cars in the station car park. |
