Today we needed to sort out the new fuel can for the boat. But first we went to the Russian border to see if we could see any spies. We found quite a few, they were in the supermarket. Their four wheel drives parked outside.On the way there we stopped off at a cafe' they had a child's play area in the corner.
It was unusual.
We found some more standing stones, Steven's favourite. These ones date from the 1940's are there to keep the tanks out.
Heading back to the boat we found a ski jump, this one is in a state of disrepair. There are public ski jumps dotted about the place.
We went back out to the Summer House to return our borrowed fuel can.
After a nice lunch it was time to return but Tehvi wasn't keen on the idea of leaving and sat resolutely on the rocks until someone picked her up and carried her to the boat.
At the hardware store we found a mo-ped for the grandchildren
We returned home and picked up the kids it was their first day back at school after the 2 month summer holidays and headed in to Kotka to visit Heikki's Mum, the children's Grandmother Aune.
Here are Anna-Maija, Lauri, Antti, Aune and Aapo.
In Kotka we visited a parkland and children's skate bowl area that is on a reclaimed petrol storage site on the banks of the river.
The Finnish designer received a European Union design award for the park.
