Lithuania |
|
|

On Thursday 28th of August I went by bus to Vilnius. The trip was smooth and interesting and on the way I met a Hungarian guy living in Canada for the last 20 years! |

I discovered very soon in Vilnius that Lithuanians are more open and less shy than Estonians and Latvians. It was 4 times in a short while people stopped us at a street where we were looking at our stupid maps finding a hostel! But eventually we found a cheap hostel very close the railway station! |

The next day I went to Marijampole, which has 50.000 inhabitants and is close to the Polish borders, there lives Inga, a girl I met in Helsinki last year. Inga lives there with her husband Zilvinis and her parents. Here I got a photo of the big family. From left: Nerenga, Vitalias, Inga, Zilvinis and her parents. |
