Back to nature
For the next couple of days we were in an amazing homestay in Aukstaitija National Park. This morning we caught a train from Vilnius to Ignalina where we were collected by 2 vans, canoes already on the trailers. We arrived at the homestay which is in a very rural area and situated right on a lake and stream in the Aukstaitija National Park. We settled in, had a cup of tea and then headed for the canoes. We left from directly across the road from the house and headed downstream. ...

Two minutes after we'd dropped him off, we saw a bloke in a suit hitching. We both shrugged and drove on by. Sorry, we only pick up hitchers that look mad, bad and ...
Serendipity
... there, trying to look intelligent, and understanding nothing of the conversation in Lithuanian. They must have made us out to be complete charity cases, because the next thing I got, was that the local they had accosted, was willing to offer us use of her summer house, providing we had our own bedding (which we did). Her name was Virginia, and she lives in Leeds with her English husband.
