Neljas Päivää: Savonlinnassa (vielä 16km pyöräily)
Day 4 (a so-called 'rest day') in which we:
 |
| Saimaa steamboat |
- Washed some clothes and left them to dry in the blazing sun
- Freewheeled down the hill into town
- Had an icecream
- Took a tour of Olavinlinna (Olaf's Castle) where the opera festival is held (and heard singers practicing as we go)
- Almost broke my neck trying to walk up/down uneven stone spiral staircases in cycling shoes
- Had a fancy lunch on a shady terrace and another icecream
- Sat in the park while eating an icecream
- Took a steamboat cruise
- Watched the dark storm clouds roll in across the lake, and lightning flash in the distance
- Bought too much food in the supermarket
- Waited an hour for the massive downpour to let up (it rained so hard the night's opera had to be cancelled due to the noise!)
- Cycled through the lakes and streams up the bastard hill
- Washed our not-very-dry washing again (and paid to use the 'drying room')
