Itinerary description

Guess who forgot the GPS...Well, from Visulahti - Helsinki.

I tried to go to Repovesi National park on the way. Mistake. Such a road, it was a gravel road, full of ice, mud and really narrow, the van going a little bit from side to side, but well, survived. Helsinki, I followed a Park4night location in the north of the city, close to Vaanta, mistake, it didn't exist, at least not during the winter/spring...there were two open fences on the way and in its place there was a creepy ruined house, so I decided to go to a parking lot that was also marked in Park4night, still after crossing the fences, once again, mistake. Morning, suddenly the winter is back, there's a huge snowfall and the van is asking for oil. Problems will be there later, so I go for a walk with Chaplin and then I'll fix it. So once I did so, I tried to go to Raajasarvi, an island that is a dog park but, the fence is closed. WTF. Well after a few minutes, I find a "good enough" way to get out of this place. When I arrived at Raajasarvi I went in with the dogo and it was super nice, it's a place for dogs, a woman told me that in the 60s there was a guy who in his will decided to let this land for the dogs and the lawyers fought for it until nowadays. It is in front of the prime minister's and the president's summer residences, and it has a parking lot also, where I guess I'm sleeping today. I went also to Cafe Regata, where dogs are allowed and they have free dog cinnamon rolls, and for a walk around the city. Mainly the shore nearby.
