Best Eastern Hotel Karolina Vilnius

... or tapped rooms. (the building itself was 'tapped'!!)
There were also displays on the many disguises the KGB would use, the many types of 'hidden cameras' and actual files kept on the tracking details of those they thought a threat to the state... The tour ended with a walk through what was the execution room - a small brick building - the evidence of it's past being the bullet holes in the wall and the fact you walk on a raised ...

... there was a group of kids heading to Zakopane to ski, and I think they were drunk because they were horribly loud. Every time someone passed by their car, they yelled "WAZZUP?!" It got annoying really fast. Then this old man sat in our car and tried to make conversation with me. It was awkward. I did get off at the right stop, so that was lucky. It was about 3am and the next train to the airport was at 4, so I hurried to get a ticket. The ...

... times I seen tiny old babas jaywalking across large streets at an extremely slow pace, and drivers would wait for them, not honking the horn at all. This is much different than London, where even if you are way down the street, drivers find it their duty to honk at you, showing you that you are jaywalking. But this is not to say they are good drivers in Lithuania. I almost got hit a dozen times from people making right turns (they drive on the RIGHT side here). When ...

... bit as crowded and in the same vein. At its very beginning there is St. Nicholas Orthodox Church. Built in 1514, it wasn't an orthodox church at first. But there were fires in the city, there was a russification programme in Lithuania and some time in the 19th century the church was reworked in the Russian Byzantine style and finally reincarnated in its present shape and function. On top of Didzioji gatvė there is Rotusės aikstė or the City Hall Square. It was around ...

... I couldn't test its validity. So all in all, if you come to Vilnius and just whiz through, like one day only, then this is the place to come to and start your brief sightseeing from. Vilnius Cathedral is the main Roman Catholic Cathedral of Lithuania and as such the heart of country's spiritual life. As coronations of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania were regularly conducted inside, it has seen a great deal of Lithuanian history trotted out. Add to it crypts and catacombs with many local ...

... Maybe more." It didn't snow right then and was even a wee bit warmer than when we, say, had gone to Kernavė. But so that there is no confusion, it was all still below zero. At any rate, since I had not been out yet, the walk was going to do me well. At times there was even no wind, so in such moments it was almost pleasant. As Ruta was relatively at the city periphery, we didn't pass anything that would make it into tourist guide books. Sometimes we walked past ...

... the capital of Lithuania. He was full of pleasant impressions and affectionately described it as "a chocolate box city of three-storey baroque buildings". At that time I didn't know anything about the country, except that Lithuania is one of the Baltic States, which heroically gained its independence back from the former Soviet block in 1991. I was looking for my next holiday destination and instead of returning back to my favourite places I decided ...

... The padded room in the KGB museum What worse the padded room or the alcohol ban? In the evening, I bumped into April (an Australian traveller I met in Klaipeda) where we teamed up and did abit more Old Town sightseeing before ended up in the Cathedral Square to watch a live performance by Foje ...

... to walk everywhere esp over cobblestones in high shoes is just amazing!) Like most places in Eastern Europe, the food is stodgy but highly tasty. So long as you like potato and meat you will do well over here. Salads here are mostly all swimming in mayonnaise and to expect vegetables with your stodge will probably mean carrots and peas, if that. The traditional food in Lithuania is the Zeppelin - made from wobbly potato ...
