The world’s longest spit
... Chris shared a 1 meter long sausage that was apparently delicious.
The next morning we caught a ferry out to the Curonian Spit, which is a giant sand bank 98km long, half owned by Lithuania and half by Russia and drifting slowly into the Baltic Sea by 4m a year. We met with a local guide and boarded a public bus. We stopped at Witches Hill, a section of forest containing wooden sculptures depicting local legends that were carved around 30 years ago and are ...

A Day's R&R
... indeed, last year they weren’t used at all, I don’t think. Still, we were making good progress and by 10:45 or so we had the engine on and were approaching the mouth to the canalised river, the Juru Kanalas. We had to keep to one side, avoiding shallows and a wreck that was reputed to be there, as a large vessel overtook us.
