From Latvian Rain to Lithuanian Storm

Today started with rain. Not just drizzle, but real rain. Damn, I wanted to wander around in the National Park around Priekuli.
After some breakfast and a cold shower, it still rained and we decided to stay as long as possible in the hotel and decide further after Check-out. Quarter to twelve, we left our hotel room and started our drive to the Kangeri Trail. It was a 20min de-route, and we hoped that the weather would get better until we'd arrive. It didn't, but as we were already there and our rain coats haven't been out for quite some time, we chose the wetness.
So, we walked the Kangeri Trail around the Great Kangeru Lake (which isn't actually that big, and only 1,5m deep). There was a 35m tall tower to overlook the high-grown trees and lake, which Aluna didn't like to conquer at all.
After combating her fear of heights, we drove on to Birzai, our first stop in Lithuania. Our apartment for the night was very atmospheric and nicely decorated. We went to the supermarket, found some dog food that Aluna actually wanted to eat and some more Kohuke!
Stuffed again, we went on a walk to the many sights of Birzai, and we're nearly blown away. Apparently, rain was out, but instead, the heavens let the storm out now. Nevertheless, the castle and churches were lovely to look at. Tomorrow, we'd have some more things to explore in the region.Read more
