So, nachdem wir dann aus Trakai wieder weg fahren sind wir durch die REgenfluten nach Kaunas gefahren. Tomas hat dann abgecheckt wo wer hingeht und dann sind wir durch die Kaunasser Innenstadt spaziert.<br>Zur Zeit ist Vilnius zusammen mit Wien Kulturhauptstadt Europas. Aus diesem Grund sind Unsummen nach Vilnius geflossen, nicht ganz neidlos an Kaunas vorbei. Daher hat das studentische Kaunas ihr eigenes Kulturfestival organisiert und ...

Our hostess in Kaunus, Laura, made us very welcome. Her parents-in-law and Grandmother also live there. The kids, particularly Saskia and Eartha went out of their way to endear themselves to everyone. They miss Grandma, so a surrogate set of grandparents was not to be passed over. Nick was well fed before Laura took him to the airport. I ...

... up Nick. Still, I was pretty pleased. I'd driven through two time zones in less than a week. How cool is that?<br><br>Somewhere in Alytus, I missed the turning to Kaunus. Several kilometres later, I stopped in a tiny village, inhabited by farmers. Dodging the chickens, I asked for help with the directions. The old man I'd picked on, pointed back the way I'd come, made signals that it was two somethings away - kilometres, turnings, traffic lights? Who knows? Eventually his ...

At one stage when the lights went out, David left me in the dark & found his way forwards to the front of the museum. I could hear his voice getting further & further away "hello? Hello?" Eventually he must have found somebody because the lights came on again. The lady who had looked after us at first came & signalled her apology. A little later a man walked ...

... houses built in a manner that didn't belong to anything called twentieth or twenty first century, it was a charming place to see. There were houses there which were almost like out of the Grimm brothers' fairy tales, with wooden stairs leading up to the first floor because the ground floor - could not be entered at all. Or there were houses whose walls didn't even join under the right angle. It all created an atmosphere of just a larger village. And in this hot and lazy summer ...

... s still an attractive enough place with a fair bit of interesting history. There are a few rough edges and it's a tad shabby in parts, but there are plenty of other, often great cities that you could say the same about. After the Poles decisively occupied and annexed Vilnius in the years immediately following World War I, newly independent Lithuania had little choice but to decide on a new capital. The honor fell upon Kaunas, formerly an important, if ...

... meeting with other people to prepare and discuss the trip they would do down to Turkey ... We went back home later and I could at last use the net, pack my things for the departure tomorrow, as Vita need to study and was already pretty busy with exams and other things. It seemed natural that I was leaving and I was going to meet James in Riga, I heard there was also a meeting over in the week end so it was good. I just decided to go and I will see there.

... das schoenste war wie die sonne durch den nebel in den wald schien. unbeschreiblich, ich sass da mit offenem mund. nachdem ich in einem total ausgestorbenen dorf gleich das erste auto bekommen hatte, alles ganz cool gegangen war, und mich der erste truck in meinem langen hitchhikerleben ueber die grenze nach litauen gebracht hatte, also 8 autos, 8 stunden spaeter traf ich in kaunas (ich war per minibus in die stadt gekommen, der trucker hatte mir geld dafuer gegeben!) elma ...
