I had a fantastic time in Lithuania. My visit took place over two days and I managed to see Kaunas and Vilnius. I had previously asked for advice on how to fit as much of Kaunas into one morning. It was very good advice and I even had time left over to visit the Akropolis shopping centre.
I flew into Kaunas on Saturday night. I found the hostel and went out to explore Laisves aleya the main street. Next morning I woke up early. I walked along the banks of the Nemunas river to the old town. There was a path that went straight down by the river.
Only for the last part of the journey to the old town did I walk down there. There were some fishermen fishing early in the morning. As I walked past one of them holding a beer can asked me something in Lithuanian. Instinct told me not to answer and I shrugged politely looking confused.
Then he started calling out a word that in Spanish French and Italian I know means prostitute not sure about in Lithuanian Maybe it was because I didn t answer him but I thought it was best to walk fast and get back on to the main road. Maybe I d walked into an area known for prostitutes? The old town was lovely.
It was empty early on a Sunday morning but the weather was perfect for photos. Then I walked up toward the hill. I managed to miss the Funiclar on the way up and walked up the stairs. Though found it for the way down.
