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!

Streets lined up with hundred year old buildings in Kaunas
That was funny!
Off to Kaunas
Landed in Vilnius and headed straight to Kaunas. Good old Gintautas (remember him?) was there to pick me up and take me there.
This is how the sky looked as we went down Highway A1.

Time to explore the next Baltic country
Have you ever flown in one of those?
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!
