Traveling into rural Lithuania, transportation becomes harder. Transport requires a fair bit of digging. My few requirements include easy access and, if possible, no connections. The last experience I want is standing in a small train or bus station in rural no-woman’s-land understanding next to none of a foreign language. Been there, done that.
Today, I walk past the Gate of Dawn in the direction of Bastion Hill and the panorama found atop Three Crosses Monument. In between, I explore the quirky spirit seen in Užupis, a self-declared republic of Vilnius. But first, a look at the food of Lithuania.
