Arrived here on Sunday, the last day of the annual "Pink soup" festival (beetroot) - well, it is almost the national dish! But found a great Asian stall in the market.
surrounded by a lake. A great museum with loads of Lithuanian history and then picnic in the sun.
Monday to the much-restored but still lovely castle at Trakai, in a beautiful setting,
surrounded by a lake. A great museum with loads of Lithuanian history and then picnic in the sun.
Decided to do without the many Lithuanian forms of potato so bought a load of salad, easy in our apartment. And it's strawberry season here now, so two this year.
Tuesday spent the day wandering around Vilnius not quite so flamboyant as Riga,
visiting the cathedral
and the museum in the Palace of the Grand Dukes.
Lots more tour groups here than Riga. A jazz concert tonight by a group who play the music of Claude Bolling, apparently a well-known French jazz pianist.
