Pictures from Lithuania: the ones I like most!

I was pretty happy about the pictures I was able to take in Lithuania, specially those presented here. Its always an amazing feeling to have the opportunity to get to know a different environment and pass it further somehow. In this case, through my pictures.

Outskirts of Alytus.

While visiting my friend Jitka in Lithuania I've been to Alytus, one little town south west from the capital Vilnius.

In the industrial area in the outskirts of Alytus. The presence of the Soviet influence could be seen in some abandoned industry buildings on in the still inhabited old apartment blocks.

I could experiment with my lenses and films from this amazing app, the Hipstamatic, and got great results.

I left Alytus early in the morning to Vilnius with the plan of spending a few hours in the capital of the country and get some impressions of it.

Vilnius impressed me with its classic and well-preserved building. There is not much of the Soviet touch through the old blocks, which are more frequently seen in the outskirts of the town.

First impressions in Lithuania

After landing safe and sound I got some money. The local currency is called litas (Lt) and corresponds to approximately one third of the Euro.

Off course, one realizes the language everywhere. Nop! Not Russian but Lithuanian. They have their own language.

With the bus line 1 from the airport I could get into town and to the main bus station. The ticket for a single ride costs 2,5 Lt (0,50 Ct).

Hint: Don't enter the bus with no change money. Everything above 20 Lt is not accepted. In the case you only have a 100Lt note like I did, ask a young nice lady if she can change it for you. It worked!

Now sitting in the bus on the way to Alytus. The ticket for the almost 2 hours journey costs 22,0Lt (approx. 6,3€) and they have WiFi in it.

I keep on moving! Vuuuuush!
Cheers!

Next destination Lithuania!

Yay!!
Just started getting prepared to the next trip by learning something about Lithuania.

I never thought about heading to one of the Baltic countries before but since my dear friend Jitka is living in Alytus and I promised to visit her there, the chance just knocked at my door.

Till know I got to know that their currency is called "litas" and they are kinda fascinated by the devil. One can even visit the Devil's Museum there.

The plan sounds like: after landing in Vilnius and take the bus to Alytus, where Jiitka is working. A visit to her wok place, where I'd have the opportunity to getting in touch with the children, with whom she works. After two days we head together to Vilnius and enjoy the weekend together. Wanna try some typical food, visit some museum and learn something about the country and culture... I honestly dont know much about it!


Guess what? Excited! I surely come back with some great pics! :)
Cheers everyone!
