From the previous path ...

to an island opposite it. The cycling and walking path from the previous post was taken near Uunisaari. Uunisaari is a small island near Ullanlinna. One is able to get there by ferry. There is a cafe and a beach there. During summer, it is a popular place for people to get some sun.

Note: Filling in for krs the past couple of days. She'll be back soon.

Capped Castle

It's unfortunate that these beer bottle caps were found in the children's playground. But the kids have made something good out of a bad situation. Not to worry, the caps have been cleared.
