Meduza Palanga

... sind ein ganz gewöhnlicher, gleichsam genutzter Teil des Verkehrsnetzes, nicht davon irritieren lassen.<br>Wie auch immer... Jedenfalls ging die Reise durch das idyllische Land Litauens.<br>Grasgrüne Weiten, blaue Himmel, aufgepuffte kleine Wölkchen und den Himmel nicht so eintönig wirken zu lassen. Litauen gibt sich wirklich Mühe zu gefallen und tut das auch!<br>Das gute am Busfahren ist: Es steht dran wo es hingeht, Städtenamen sind international verständlich, ich steige ...

... dark at night when walking back, but didnt feel unsafe to me. From the hotel to old town takes around 15 minutes on foot. Most of the way is a shopping street. The old town it self is small and not very exciting, but has some nice restaurants and bars. I had dinner somewhere outside in the city centre, which was very cheap. This being a Sunday evening, it was pretty quiet. <br>

I am going to another beach town, Palanga, 30 min North. Micro busses leave frequently. They appear to wait until full which can be 2 minutes or 40 minutes (like to Nida). <br><br>This is a total beach resort. It's pedestrian walk even has Carnival type rides, huge cafes, ice cream everywhere &#8230; The crowds dwarf Nida. The beach has a volleyball tournament going on. I do my thing which is to walk ...

... very sore. Walking is painful with every step. I can't figure out anything in particular that caused it. I walk with difficulty to dinner, a great Armenian restaurant. Their translations for food are off. I order lamb shank (thinking Osso Bucco) and it turns out to be rack of lamb. Still works for me. I do several infused vodka shots and some brandy to hopefully ease my pain for sleeping. I skip the bars and opt for bed. It still after midnight. Everything is later out here.

... publicly until the late 1980s. So, although not many people know, you can go and ask the ranger to show you the remains of the base, the control room and the massive diesel generator used to run it, the 25m deep silos, and the slide back mounds on top (yes, very Bond in Thunderball!). Awesome. Imagine trying to see that prior to 1991 when the country was under Russian rule.

... was spoken was when people from different countries needed a common language in order to communicate. I never could have imagined such an amazing beach in Lithuania of all places! I arrived in town without a place to stay. At the bus station there was a travelers info center where I made an inquiry and was given an address to visit that wasn't too far. The house was attractive and thankfully there was a teenage daughter that spoke enough English to where details could ...

Ignore what we said about the worst campsite this beats the lot - toilets were holes in the ground, the shower was invented by the local made professor and was patented trust me when i say no one will by buying it!. As for Palanga it deserves better a great beach resort with loads to do and see, cheap and good fun for a few days or a week well worth a visit. While we were their they were holding a ...

... det er det jo ikkje alle som veit. Klaipeda var ein gong i tida yttergrensa til Prøyssen. Landet høyrde til Tyskland heilt fram til 1919, vart då sett under administrasjon av Folkeforbundet heilt til litauiske troppar åtaka byen og erobra den i 1923. Og sidan det har den vore ein del anten av det sjølvstendige Litauen eller av Den litauiske sovjetrepublikken, alt etter kva tidbolk ein har levd i. Litauen ...

... off to Nida. Along both sides of the whole road was think forest so all you could see were trees and little dolls hanging from the roof of the bus windshield bobbing about. We walked through Nida and along a bit of the coast before cutting into the woods to get to the top of the dunes. It seemed to have warmed right up and layers were actually coming off which this morning seemed like an impossible thought. We carried on through the woods ...

Destination 18:   km42'021 Ankuft in Discotown Palanga rechtzeitig zum Pfingst- Weekend und zwangsläufige Wertsteigerung der Unterkunft: Da alle Campingplätze verwaist und keine Hostels vorhanden, günstiges Hotel gebucht. Da immer noch Affenkälte und Dauerregen gar keine schlechte Idee... Doch weiss nicht, was an dieser Westküste toll sein soll wie ...
