Easter
For Easter we got visitors from Sulkava. We rented a car and headed towards sunny(?) Baltic Sea. How did everything turn out?
Sunday
We spent the first night about 50 km from the coast at farmstead.
We woke up to go the Easter morning service to small church in tiny Zlibinai.
Long waited (at least I was waiting) target was abandoned missile base. This base was built by Soviets during their occupation. It’s in the middle of Lithuania, but locals had no clue that it was built there. We didn’t arrange a guided tour so we had to sneak in through a crack in the fence. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get to underground parts.
Easter had made the third largest city of Lithuania a ghost city. It was difficult to find an open restaurant from old town. After short ferry trip we drove to Nida in Curonian Spit. In pictures you can see wrecked sundial, Kaliningrad region and bank of the sand dune.
We couldn’t find the sun. Instead we found lots of snow. And intersting park full of witchy statues. In the afternoon we also found the lost people of Klaipeda. They were at the shopping/entertainment center Akropolis. We went boling, ate and even tasted some of those delicious(?) Lithuanian smoked pig ears.
Next night we sent at nice guesthous in Jurbarkas. After the breakfast we headed to water park at Druskininkai. On the way we saw many storks, some chicken and made a good anlysis of Lithuanian agriculture.
