After Warsaw, we travelled by coach to Lithuania, Vilnius, this took 8 hours in total with two very short stops. The coach was luxurious, had Wifi, movies, hot beverages and at a cost, pillows and blankets.
Our problem being, there was 30 Spanish Uni students, who all smoked and was quite restless and noisy. On arrival to Vilnius, we got of the wrong stop, so had to make a quick call to get our driver to pick us up, as the coach was early, we only had to wait 10 mins.
These posters are on each floor of our hotel, Lithuania is the only country to have its own Spotify.
We are 10mins walk from the old town.
On our way to old town on our walking tour, look what I came across, the only patchwork shop in all the Baltics.
I did buy some fabric, price is 12euro per metre =$24
Walk down the Jewish street in old town.
Lithuania has a population of just under 3,000,000 and joined the EU in 2004.
This black Madonna is the church of Saint Theresa and above the Dawn gate chapel.
Symphonies are played in this hall.
One of the industries in Lithuania is manufacturing of linen, I did manage to buy some linen by the metre, as well as a jacket and scarf.
Lovely cobble stone streets

Saint Casimire casket, legend goes that after 150years this casket was opened and he was so well preserved, it was a miracle, so he was canonised.
