Finally had a bowl of Šaltibarščiai (Pink Soup)

During my last trip to Lithuania, I had heard about this very local soup. Made of beetroot, dill, eggs, yogurt, lemon etc, it is served cold. I had tried every possible restaurant that trip but nobody had this soup. (It is a summer soup and I had come in November).

This time, I got the soup at the first restaurant I had a meal!! Reminded me of Indian raita a lot!

This trip has been one of rivers

Top to bottom, left to right…

River Charles (Boston), Tagus (Lisbon), Vistula (Krakow), Vltava (Prague), Elbe (Czech/Germany) and Thames (London)

What was supposed to be a 4 country trip became a 7 country trip that included an unplanned flight cancellation and an unplanned hike crossing a country border!
