Our third day was spent at the wonderful Kernave Archaeological Site (UNESCO of course) an hour away. Occupied since prehistoric times and once the capital of Lithuania, sacked and burnt in the 14th century, it's now just grass and trees.
Great museum with all sorts of finds and well documented information through the ages. Followed by a lovely walk through the site with its three castle mounds and reconstructed medieval houses. Lunch by the river.
Lots of school parties as it's the end of the school year here.
Learned a bit about "straw gardens" too.
Off to the far south of Lithuania and a national park tomorrow.
Oh and the jazz group were brilliant!
