Vidmuntas kann spielen wie der Teufel, das war einfach richtig schön.<br>Leider ist es dann doch recht spät bzw. früh geworden, aber das wars auf jeden Fall wert!!!!!!!<br>Vidmuntas zieht jetzt auch demnächst nach Vilnius und ich bin schon eingeladen zu deren wöchentlichen ...

... on with the boring stuff, like washing the kids and clothes.<br><br>We have crossed Europe, shedding socks as we go. I know we left a pair in northern Poland, and one on a beach in Latvia. I'm pretty sure we lost two more in Tallinn. Now, in Lithuania, I discovered I have gained a pair of Nick's boxers, which somehow failed to fly home ...

... in a mixture of languages not including English, but relying heavily on hand signals. He made it quite clear that the route chosen was wriggly and slow. He even used that internationally understood description "Scheiße". <br><br>I chose a new route with my new friend's help and set off. I had plenty of time, but I was still un-nerved when a few minutes later my phone bleeped to tell me I'd gone through a new time zone and I had one hour less to get to Kaunus airport to ...

... be a bit of a risk but the alternative was to leave the car... given that we lost our car on Day 1 we totally sympathised and probably would have stayed had we been in their position....

... The Hill of Crosses is a symbol of suffering, hope and undefeated faith of the Lithuanian people. After uprisings of 1831 and 1863 rebels were secretly buried there and crosses were erected for the dead and lost. At the beginning of the 20th century, over 100 crosses stood on the hill. During the years of Soviet occupation of Lithuania, they tried to destroy the Hill of Crosses. In 1961 it was devastated for the first ...

... has had many, uses over the years most recently an art gallery. I had seen on the Internet a cheep place to stay so headed there. They were full but had an apartment for 100 Lt's. I accepted it. My own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge. Very nice although expensive by my budget. The TV only had music stations no news but that's OK. It's on the main shopping streets so very handy. I went straight to the old town. Great to see ...
