We visited KOTKA on the 20th July 2007.
We drived by bus the following tour:
Helsinki - Porvoo - Loviisa - Pyhtää - Kotka
140 km
Our first way was to the lookout Haukkavuori- an old watertower.
There we enjoyed a coffee and cake in the cafè Saga and we was also on the top from the tower :-)
It was pitty, that we had raining weather, but it was`nt cold.
After coffee and nice outlook from the top of the tower we went to the habour, where were all the great ships. It was really impressive.
