Road trip day 2 (Finland)

Today we spent the morning sightseeing in Savonlinna. The main thing to see in Savonlinna is the Olavinlinna Castle. The Castle is situated on a rocky islet in the Kyrönsalmi stream and was built in the late 1400. We admired the castle from the outside and continued our way to the market square to buy apple thins. The city of Savonlinna is beautiful,  but we had to continue our way to Koli. 

On our way to Koli we drove through Punkaharju, which is a beautiful ridge area around 30km east from Savonlinna. From Punkaharju we drove north towards Joensuu snd towards Koli. We stopped to our campsite in Kiviniemi (http://kiviniementila.fi ) first to put out tents up and we contunued a short trip to Koli  one of the National sites of Finland. Koli is an open view hill area 1138 feet (357m) over sea level and main view points are Ukko koli, Akka koli and Paha koli. We visited all three points and saw amazing views to the lake of Pielinen.

It started to be late so we went to buy some food and drove back to the campsite to have dinner. Unfortunately we had to have "fast" food as we were attacked by sand flies, so we retired to bed.
