It was time to leave Estonia and almost time to leave the Baltic countries… After having said goodbye to Tartu, Ingrid and I arrived in the second largest Lithuanian city: Kaunas.
It had been a long drive and since we had arrived early in the evening – later than expected -, we were too tired to do any more sightseeing. And on the morning afterwards, we had to leave early again, so Ingrid and I only could afford a morning walk in Kaunas.
We were in the old town, near a beautiful square. The building which we though it was a church turned out to be the town hall, built in the 16th century.
At one side of the square was a complex of beautiful buildings, a monastery:
All around the square were pubs and restaurants. And interesting details…
As always, Ingrid converted some of her pictures to black and white…
There is a lot more to see and do in Kaunas and we felt sorry for ourselves that we had to continue with our trip. Our first visit to the Baltic countries has been a success; the local population and food, the sights, the coast, … We loved everything and can’t wait to go back.
Our next destination was going to be a challenge…
