Go - Za

The day started with a littlebit of rain. The road was wet and there were clouds in the sky. We stopped anyway in the museum bridge of Virransalmi.

From Tuustaipale to north we had first gravelroad about 19 kilometers and because of rain there were parts with soft surface… almost like mud. In the video you can see how it can be…
Kissakoski was the place where we stopped and walked around.


Then we stopped for a short break in Hirvensalmi.

And for a little bit longer break in Mikkeli to check the observation tower of Naisvuori.

It had already stopped raining and the roads were already dry. So the rest of the day it was cloudy and warm. From Mikkeli we took the roads to east. And from the gravelroad near Anttola we found nice quarry.

And soon it was about the time to take the “private” ferry over the Lake Saimaa and I also took my drone up to the sky to make a video when the ferry was about to enter to the pier:

The ride over the lake was so relaxing! The lake was calm without any waves and the beautiful archipelago all around us made us feel that this is a fairytale.

We still had some riding to do after this. First is was this nice paved road in the middle of Lake Saimaa:

We went to Puumala to have a pizza. There was quite interesting tent in the middle of the willage:

There was 1 more quite nice road and a yellow ferry (These yellow ferries are for free in Finland) before we arrived to our destination.

The place we were about to sleep was quite terrible. Luckily it was also cheap.

Here is the video about this day made by my wife:

Here is the route for day 2:
