Lithuania - Country #54

Some countries that are just behind the corner from Finland I never even visited. Lithuania is one of them. I didn't really have expectations or know what find there but it blew my mind! The prices are so resonalbe, food great, people friendly and city gorgeous. I will definitely come back here. So more restaurants we would have wanted to eat at. Also drove out to Hill of Crosses that is about 230 km from downtown. Worth the drive, haven't seen anything like this anywhere in the world before!!

Thanks for the champagne Finnair 
Found this massive abandoned building next to the hotel. Old swimming hall from the USSR times or..? 
Every second year all Latvians dress up in their traditional clothes and sing songs around the city. What a cool tradition! 


University library was something out of Harry Potter 

Didn't know Lithuania will turn 100 this year! Very same as Finland 
Cool restaurant design 
Yum yum red beat pancakes with sour cream 
Pancakes! 
Love the design 
Roadtrip from Vilnius to Hill of Crosses. We stopped by for a Hesburger, random to find this restaurant in the middle of nowhere. As good as back home! Kerros Ateria kiitos
 


Did NOT wanna leave this car


Small park outside the restaurant was a good stop to move our legs a bit 
 Beer in Vilnius is decently priced!
 Architectural wonders
 First sunshine came in the afternoon of the second day and the city looked very much more alive suddenly
 Welcome to Hill of Crosses, a place like no other!
Jesus saves
And MORE 
We added our own little cross by this wooden one 
Could shoot a horror movie here
Evening work with a beer at the lounge was nice, thanks Marriott for the free beer
 Sunsets!
Spelling matters :D 
Vilnius CBD
The food in this city was so good 
Feel like this would be the entrace to Hogwarts 
Lithuania on a map 
Welcome to the Platetarium
 Not everyday you see cathedrals with towers like this
Gothic ! 

Now THIS was a nutella shake 
Graffiti done right
 Someone has a cool old castle office 
Vilnius market offers great food for cheap 
Happy 100th birthday Lithuania
