We rented a car from Jyvaskyla then we drove to Lapeenranta. 220km took about 4 hours. We saw very little traffic and lots and lots of trees. It was a Sunday afternoon, and there were very few trucks - we passed only six, and five of them were Russian - the other was Finnish

In the afternoon when we arrived at Taipelsaari (near Lapeenranta) we gave Mum's friend Anneli a surprise by appearing at her door earlier than she expected.
We had a meal then went for a walk around a lake in the evening.
