PHOTO GALLERY:
Joensuu and Savonlinna - East Finland
14-18th, June 2006


Page Description

This photogallery consists of many photos from a short holiday in few of the several beautiful towns situated at East Finland, namely - Joensuu, Savonlinna and Punkaharju. These towns are a perfect place for relaxing, enjoying nature and have some fun visiting site-seeing places marked on the maps. One of the most interesting sites was a fairly large castle situated on a small island in the lake of Savonlinna. These towns are very organised, clean, many kind people, not chaotic or overcrowded with traffic or people, and not very large. Visiting these cities by a bicycle is highly recommended. Shops, restaurants, pubs, parks and museums are abundant too.

Here is our tent near the beach at Linnunlahti Camping in Joensuu. The weather had been sunny and warm all day, but as soon as we had put up the tent we started to see dark clouds in the sky, and of course it started to rain during the night. Our tent seems to have some kind of rain spell...
