Turning north,
Uusikaupunki'
s museum deserves a prize for ironic humour, while
Rauma
features charming wooden buildings.
Pori
hosts a pumping jazz festival.
The next coastline is 'Parallel Sweden': first stop
Kristinestad
with its Swedish-speak-
ing majority.
Vaasa
has an excellent museum and kids' attractions. West of here,
Kvarken
archipelago
is an ever-changing landscape of land rising from the seabed.
Jakobstad'
s Old Town rivals Rauma's for beauty. Beyond here, beautiful coastline runs
north to
Oulu
. Stop off at
Hailuoto
island for a relaxing stay by the sandy beach; it's not
often you can have a dip this far north.
