The world’s longest spit
We arrived in Klaipeda around 3-4 in the afternoon and checked in to our hotel. Stefan took us into the centre of town where they had all these cute chairs and umbrella's with two huge screens up so everyone in the town could come and watch EuroBasket, the European cup of Basketball. With Lithuanian’s being sooooo tall they are naturally quite good at basketball making it their national sport. We went for a short walk around town and then went for a group dinner where ...

A Day's R&R
... moneys to give me 100 Lits ( £23 roughly) and the harbour and shower dues were 80, so shopping was not on the agenda!
The excellent Baltic Sea Pilot states ' Klaipėda is a friendly, pleasant town, not without charm’ and I think we would agree, what we saw of it in the two hours that we wandered around.
