Dear all,
The moment you might read this article is probably simultaneously with my travels through Russia. Imagine my delay First of all, everything is still going great. And again I’m many choices, kilometres, Couchsurfers and adventures further.
The picture in this article is a stone called “Stebuklas” and it’s a good way to introduce the Baltic States; starting with Lithuania. Here the line of people (imagine people hand to hand in a chain) ended which started in Tallinn. A strong, but peaceful signal of the Baltic people that they had enough of the Soviet Union. Adventually leading to a quick dismantling of Lithuania from the Soviets.
As my stay will be at a Finnish Couchsurfer in Vilnius, I don’t really know what and who to expect. The only thing I knew was there would be a party at his place. Cheerful and happy people arrived with lots of food and games. Games I had not played before, untill I was taught this weekend. More games in one day than in the total of my life span so far I find Lithuanian people much more loose and laid back. Maybe that’s why they called this weekend the “Vegetable weekend”… as if I had to become a couch potatoe
The next morning Indre and I woke up miraculously early. Both in a good mood we decided to hang out in the beautiful town centre of Vilnius. It was good to have her as I guide since you get to know the place quite well. When my Finish host, Mikael, told me that Vilnius acts like a village I couldn’t believe him… 300.000 citizens is still a city to me. But after 2 hours wandering in the city we already met 5 party guests from the day before. Amazing! Unfortunately my weekend already finished in Lithuania, but it enabled me to leave with a good vibe.
