Well, I haven't been posting a while, and this almost feels like I don't wanna do, but then again, why not.
I have been driving around and now at it again. Early January I took a trip to Pori and while I was there, I decided to drive around a little more. Oh, and I got new wheels also.
So, this is part where I drove from Pori to Meri-Pori. Which is just a 15-20 km west from Pori, on the coast.
We start from Kaanaa, near Mäntyluoto and hop on the regional road 269. I have never driven this before.
Reposaari is located near the mouth of river Kokemäenjoki, 30 kilometres (19 miles) northwest of the Pori's city center. The population of Reposaari is 722. Since the 1956 the island has been connected with mainland by highway and railroad bridges.
I need to visit Reposaari in the summer and set on foot. It really was a sunny and cold winter day, when I was there.
As I was driving back, I noticed that this place was heavily influenced by the sea and harbour life. Reposaari has been an important harbor place since the medieval times because of its deep and protected natural harbor. It was a stage for German Hansa merchants on their way up the Kokemäenjoki river. The Port of Pori was located at Reposaari from the 18th century to the early 1900s. In the 1870s, Reposaari was the largest Finnish port in exports.
