So, nachdem wir dann aus Trakai wieder weg fahren sind wir durch die REgenfluten nach Kaunas gefahren. Tomas hat dann abgecheckt wo wer hingeht und dann sind wir durch die Kaunasser Innenstadt spaziert.<br>Zur Zeit ist Vilnius zusammen mit Wien Kulturhauptstadt Europas. Aus diesem Grund sind Unsummen nach Vilnius geflossen, nicht ganz neidlos an Kaunas vorbei. Daher hat das studentische Kaunas ihr eigenes Kulturfestival organisiert und ...

... him. A small something to cuddle at night, when I'm missing him.<br><br>Laura, very kindly, let me spend half of Monday uploading photos - which takes forever. Meanwhile, the kids amused themselves by asking Grandmother for a peach, then cracking up because she gave them a tomato instead. <br><br>It was a lovely, much needed, chill day.<br>

... up Nick. Still, I was pretty pleased. I'd driven through two time zones in less than a week. How cool is that?<br><br>Somewhere in Alytus, I missed the turning to Kaunus. Several kilometres later, I stopped in a tiny village, inhabited by farmers. Dodging the chickens, I asked for help with the directions. The old man I'd picked on, pointed back the way I'd come, made signals that it was two somethings away - kilometres, turnings, traffic lights? Who knows? Eventually his ...

... for a bit, enjoying the gardens - recognising that that allowed little time in the "Time of Misery" exhibition. Well we just chose to do that. Under Soviet occupation, initially there was just "re-education" to "encourage" people away from religion.

Of course, so it won't appear that it all was just an easy ride through history, here too the dearest regional friends, the Russians, came calling from time to time. And so that they wouldn't be the only ones, the Swedes, the plague, the fires and Napoleon stopped by, as well. As everyone knows, there are friends who cause ...

Have emailed hostel there so we'll see either that or i'm back to Vilnius tomorrow for a night. i'll keep you posted!

... out of the game" and Doug had certainly "retired hurt"! 210L later and we had reached the airport with 2 hours to spare - at last we're on time for something! Well, I tried my hardest to stay for another 2 days with Tim and Si but to no avail - all flights were booked or far too expensive - and I also felt bad about letting down the Wales team for the upcoming golf weekend at the Forest of Arden (which we incidentally drew ...

Destination 17:   km41'722 In Littauen scheint sich die Lage zu verschärfen: Nach Horrordusche und "Ausstellungs- Zeltplatz" (wo mich so viele beim Campen so blöd anglotzten) in Kaunas wurde Vilnius infolge des ziemlich angespannten und gereizten Gemütszustandes (aber auch wegen mehrfachen Ratschlägen) aus dem Programm genommen, da eine City wohl zur eskalation meiner ...

... attractive, in a jeans tucked into thier boots way, but they pale in comparison to those Latvian girls! My leisurely day in this pseudo-Walt Disney fantasyland ended by stumbling onto an old homeless man down by the river with his pants around his knees, his bare bum creating a nice reflection in the waters while he took a nice big # 2!!
