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.
Time and distance suggest I fly. Fly in spite of threats of fuel shortages and cancelled flights. Taking the FEX train, I return to Berlin’s Brandenburg Airport for my short flight to Vilnius. I board Ryanair, a low-cost airline I hadn’t ever imagined a need for.
