... bit over-made-up for the celebration. The paint on the old buildings was a bit too fresh, giving some of the areas a rather artificial quality. Nevertheless, it was still nice to stroll around the town, and the weather was markedly improved from the rain in Poland.

Whilst in Vilnius, we came across a creepy-looking hive cake being sold in various supermarkets, and Sebastian couldn't resist picking one up...tasty!

... to Uzupis... I walk into town, it's the perfect arty-hippie-free spirited place. The showpiece of the town is undoubtedly the main square in the "Republic of Uzupis" that has a statue of an Angel. Blowing a trumpet. While standing on an egg. Yes that's just how much fun Uzupis and its people are. Right by the square is a wall that has the Uzupis constitution in a variety of languages. I talk to a few Uzupis people who live by the river, much like a tribe, only ...

... crazy about evening hangouts and night clubs, and we both preferred Lithuanian winter in the open. So again we walked down similar, and often even the same streets as on Christmas Eve. But it didn't matter that much. After all, we came out in the air without any intention to chase night life. As it had already been past ten when we had gone out, town was deserted again. Just a few people, even if a few more than on Christmas Eve, scurried this or that way, probably ...

... Trakai fue una de las antiguas capitales de Lituania. Es algo rural aun pero con visos de convertirde en una Marbella! Y tambien visitamos Uzupis, un pequeno pais independiente en el centro de Vilnius. Tiene su propia Constitucion, Ayuntamiento, alcalde y reglas. Es la parte pobre y artistica de la ciudad, un lugar lleno de hippies, borrachos y bohemios. Por cierto, nuestro horrible hostal estaba situado alli!

... my time in Vilnius started with an annoying twist that made me quite angry. The worst feeling is when you know you are being ripped off, but you just have no bargaining chip to use - I just wanted to get from the bus station to the hostel and I had no map, it was cold and it was 1am. So I ask the taxi driver and he says he will take me there and quotes me 10Lt which is about AU$5 and I just say yes because of the day I have had. We get in and he drives to a round about ...

... half way decent B&B will get you on a coach to this fabulous castle. It is tremendous fun to explore and lakes around it are just beautiful. The other major site is the remnants of a shrine to Ragutis, God of Beer. All hail Ragutis!!! Another plus is the local beer called "Horn". Double entendre heaven.

... paused to watch terns picking food the water surface. Deeper into the park I was completely surrounded by forest. Mile after mile of wet forest, the trees standing in large pools of water. In mid-afternoon I went a little way into the forest to cook up some noodles. I ate the noodles the mosquitos ate me. I had to move every few seconds to get peace to eat. Augustow is a fairly large town surrounded by the forest that covers much of NE Poland . The forest the lakes make Augustow a ...
