Finland Trip Report Day 13: Second Day trip to Lake land

DAY 13 Wednesday Sep 11, 2019:

We were supposed to return the rental car by the morning. But son was not satisfied with the view of the lakes we had glimpsed the previous day. We had dawdled too much at Porvoo and had to return from Mikeli when sun started setting. It had been a looong drive from Helsinki and he wanted to do justice to the region. So he spoke to the rental and extended rental by a day.

We drove the same route. It was a windy day and we did not get the mirror reflections like the previous day.  You can see the ripples in the water in these pics...because of the wind

Also there are hardly any pullouts on the road itself. We ventured into towns and followed the brown boards which denoted attractions but it always petered out. Signage was not adequate. When we parked and tried to ask around, communication was a problem. We had not downloaded Finnish on our translate app and people did not know any English, Of course our bad.... we are usually better prepared and can manage in most foreign languages.

Anyway we had our drive, returned the car in the evening and came home to our apartment buying a day pass from the airport for zones ABC. This would serve us for the next day as well.
