Kood Koffee in Kemi

 

If you go to Kemi and feel like having a good cup of coffee there is a place to go: A roastery and coffee shop called Aito Lapin Paahto, that is Original Lapland Roast. 

For some reason, when sitting and sipping the coffee the crew felt like being in a scene of Norther Exposure, very nostalgic.

Bakery in Vaasa

The crew is excited about a bakery called Aroma in Vaasa. A kind of place you would expect to find in Stockholm or in Copenhagen. Both bread, levain and local style of rye bread were tested,  and the sweet things, mazarines, were excellent.

Granskär Saloon

We have been excited about the new routes available in the recently published new F chart and the new destinations for us in aurinkoreitti.fi. One of the new routes takes to Jannes Saloon which is a restaurant on island Granskär. There is a pontoon for the guests and we asked for to stay overnight. A lovely spot indeed with high sunset factor :-) ! The restaurant closes at 8 pm but the lady was very kind and allowed me attended by the first mate roam on the restaurant's outdoor grounds even later. I was very pleased as I do enjoy studying new places. PS The crew reported that the salmon soup lunch at the saloon was delicious. Simple and enjoyable food!
