... das war keine NDR1 Gratiseinlage, die litauischen Lieder entpsrechen nicht unserer gnaden- und willenlosen Schlagerkultur!!!!!!!!!!<br>Es war wirklich schön. 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 ...

Tomek suggested I took the route through Alytus to avoid traffic. This seemed sensible, looking at the map. There was a similarly large road running up towards Mariampole on the Polish map I was using. We stopped just before the Lithuanian border for coffee and ice-cream, only to discover the big red road I was supposed to follow did not exist on the Lithuanian map I was about to start using. A lorry driver sensed my confusion and we discussed the problem of the disappearing A ...

... Jews were persecuted there. There was one story I read about a boy who was asked when at school, what did he want to do when he left school? He said he wanted to be a priest. From then on, he and his family were persecuted by the authorities. Eventually at age 19 he could stand it no longer. In a public place he set himself alight & as he died screamed "Free Lithuania". There were stories about Lithuanian officers shipped away to be executed in various places ...

... who laid their bicycles around, sprawled on the grass, occasionally read and generally rested. After all, except for a dippy tourist, who else would bother to walk around in such a heat? Yes, it got very hot. Having seen what there was to see of the castle, I returned to the Vilniaus gatv&#279; and headed east, in the direction of the new part of the town. I enjoyed walking down this fine street once again and so I just took my time. But Vilniaus gatv&#279; doesn't stretch ...

... from its Soviety occupied use as a radio factory. Continuing on into town we started at the northern end of the central avenue dominated at a crossroads by an orthdox cathedral. Whilst large and imposing, the art deco church was in a better state of repair and looked more beautiful. We then walked the length of the pedestrian area past the Presidential Palace (Kaunas was the capital during the inter-war years when Poland occupied Vilnius ...

... aiesec office and there I met lots of people and well... lots of pretty girls too. It was cool and I talked with a foreign student from Turkey most of the time. We went to get some food at the local supermarket Maxima and later on we proceed to the kind of conference about the organisation, pretty weird but funny. Finally its after all this that we moved to the party place with some confident people who join. It was great and we did some game and ...

... beetje overtuigingskracht konden we toch tot aan de brug gaan. 2. Kaunas : vorig jaar was Frank reeds van plan om Regita te ontmoeten (HC usernaam : Coconut) maar een speling van het lot heeft er toen anders over beslist. Maar deze keer lukte het wel... de ontmoeting was warm, we bezochten een kaarsenkapel waar Ingrid uitzonderlijk de toelating kreeg om zelf een kaars te ...

... for the night so we just decided to enjoy the ride under the stars, until we found a truck stop. It turned out to be a great ride as their was now no cars on the road and the stars were just brilliant. After 1 and half hours of riding, and constant laughter of what has just unfolded we finally found a truck stop. It was now 230am and we decide to just set up the tent, this took away any possibility of a knock back from a grumpy employee. We then set up the tent and fell ...
