August 2 Bicycling (Day 310)
On our walks we found the bike shop that rents bikes.
The wooden bikes were a bit heavy looking!
The weather prediction for today is great, so we picked up a couple of bikes and went riding!
Over the river…
…and through the woods!
To the ‘beach’. The trail through the woods ends at a peninsula most of which is a bird sanctuary.
Walking around we found this sign, and using Google translate we got a taste of the dry Finnish humor! The sign says “ski slope”!
We found a boardwalk and rode out over marshy grounds to the bird observation tower.
We rode around to the small holiday village of Elba and found a restaurant overlooking Kaustar bay.
Taking the road back to Kokkola we saw several older houses that suggest this area has been a vacation spot for many years!
We had a wonderful ride with not too many mosquitoes, we even found raspberries along the road to taste!
