The last time we drove to Porvoo we failed to spot Spicetown as we passed, and Irma remembered hearing a rumour that it had moved. This morning, lacking any particular destination for my morning walk, I decide to head that way and find out.

This involves working out a route by which I can walk there, and that turns out to involve a brisk walk through an area that resembles an abandoned building site.

I get there and discover Spicetown alive and well, with customers walking in and out as though it had never been away.
