Pictures from Lithuania!

By Trixie_belle
So a few weeks ago I went to Lithuania for a few days...Why I hear you ask?My friend Mantas who actually lives in the UK is originally from there, so he was visiting family and asked if I wanted to fly over and stay for 4 days!I've never really thought about going to Lithuania since its such a small country and I have little knowledge of what is actually there... But I am so so happy I took him up on the offer because it was absolutely amazing!I feel like i accomplished so much in such a short amount of time :D 
Day 1 we vistied Trakai castle which was really cool... lots of history here.We also hired a pedal boat and went on the surrounding lake... It was so hot I actually jumped in haha



Day 2: We went to the beach... it was around 36 degrees! So hot & lovely.




Day 3: We visited a famous place called 'Kryziu Kalnas' which means 'Cross Hill'I have never seen so many crosses in one place in all my life!I was AMAZED. Such a great place. I would highly recommend going here just for that!We left crosses with our names on too.









 
Day 4: We went to a huge forest and explored!Also went swimming in a few lakes :DWe drove so deep into this one forest ( Lithuania is covered in them ) It got kind of creepy, we were driving down a small dirt track when suddenly we came to this strange little holy shrine.I was actually quite freaked out by it, since it was so deep inside the forest.... Apparently people got hung here eek!
 
 
Here's a few other pics I took :
