Kouvola

During the "Days of the sea" event in Kotka we actually stayed in a hotel in Kouvola, because all the hotels in Kotka were already full. There was a frequent "party train" connection to the Kotka harbour, and this arrangement turned out to be working just fine for us.

I can confirm that Kouvola was a perfectly suitable place to spend some time in, or to sleep over at!

MCC Action @ Mielakka

Hey, how convenient, I'm visiting Kouvola and they say that Finland's fastest MCC track is nearby.. :)

Summer 2011 update 11/16: Tykkimäki@Kouvola

I'd really like a chance to get to know Kouvola better. This time most of our minutes in the city centre were wasted on just driving around and looking for McDonald's.

But, yes, Tykkimäki is a nice amusement park. I feel it's slightly "in the middle of nowhere", but it has good rides and it's also a bit cheaper than Linnanmäki.
