We jumpstart day two with the schlep on the SpåraKOFF, the sightseeing pub tram.

Public transport and alcohol.

- Always a good combination. - Yeah.

A 50-min. round trip piddles past the historic station, the design district, the Olympic Stadium, and other things.

But our minds drift first to the onboard libation.

- Hi, there. - Hi.

To steady our hand, we order Finland's national drink, lonkero , the evocative translation of which is "long drink".

This was created for the 1952 Finnish Olympics because nothing says athletic excellence like the high consumption of alcohol and sugary drinks.

Gin, grapefruit juice, carbonated, 5.5% to sporting excellence.

That tastes like an alcopop.

Yeah, it's nice; it's refreshing.

Yeah, I don't know what subsequent Olympic drinks have been, but I normally would've thought an isotonic sports drink or water.

Right, right, something with some electrolytes.

Not gin.

It was a different time.

I wanna say this.

You've made short work of that long drink.

- Thank you. Yeah. - You know what, I'm really putting this away quickly.

I think going on a tram this slow will do that to you.

I don't know how you become a tram driver.

Do you just⏤you like driving, but steering isn't for you.

- Yeah, I like to be behind the wheel... - And not move it.

- I just don't⏤I just wanna be behind it. - I just like to brake.

- Wanna break, and... and slowly speed up. - Yeah.

Do you want me to refresh this long drink?

- Yeah? - Yeah, thank you, yeah.

- I'll go for a new long drink. - Yeah?

- Take another one? - Yeah, thanks.

Could we⏤one more long drink, please.

Hi, I'm Paul.

How's your tour going so far?

- Is the first time here, and then⏤yes. - First⏤oh.

Where are you from?

- Russian and Finnish. - And you?

New York.

- New York, wow. - New York. Yes.

- So far away. - Yeah.

Yeah, it is kind of far away.

Welcome to Finland.

Well, I heard about the tram and I didn't⏤well, I couldn't miss it.

- Yeah. - Yeah, I, uh...

(What) The hell's going on?

- We're... we're, uh, we've... I made new tram mates. - I've gone one second to get you a long drink, and my⏤

Thank you, thank you.

- It's a long drink. - You know each other?

- Yeah. - OK, that's fine.

- London. - I just really...

... encourage him not to socialize in case there's a...

That's the great thing about this tram.

Put a couple of long drinks in me; I'm everybody's best friend.

- Look at this. - Is that...?

Is that the Havis Amanda Fountain that I've been hearing so much about?

I think it might be.

That's a heck of a fountain, I think⏤

And I think that's all there is to see.

What was your favorite part?

My favorite part, I think, was going back up for a long drink and finding that you'd already made more friends than I've made in the last 5 years.
