just a shed on the way to the beach: Tar icecream

aukjejetty Says: Paltaniemi is a small town with a harbour, a few old churches and a pleasant atmosphere. It is only a short distance from Kajaani if you have a car or a bicycle. I unfortunatly had to rely on public transport, and the bus didn't go on Sundays (although I think it does go in...
