Twitching Leg In A Dog





distinguished visitor from Holland was in my last week at Lithuania. Yeah, INA was with me and we spent a fucking awesome week in rain country alias Lithuania. First I had to
to Kaunas to them from the airport to pick up. To this end it would not be nearly came because the morons here in Electric City just swapped the bus and I stood in the wrong. Super. Somehow I still managed it's still welcome and could then finally in Ina Lithuania. With the Black taxi that Ina 'a round of long fascinated he went to Electric City, where we' spent NEN relaxing evening with the people from here. The next morning on the lake - Klaipeda. Bus problems again: With our trekking rucksacks we have to sprint in the morning at eight defeated twice by the area and then let us laugh at even the Lithuanian bus driver who finds it incredibly funny how unbelievable finished we look. Well, through the fog on the lake and is' over hopped on the Curonian Spit. This is the Bravo of Lithuania in the summer with the only difference being that while every ordinary Lithuanians here in the summer drags on, but the scenery is really crazy.

From the dunes we see little. Summer vacation would be so boring. Ina and I make the whole story as the only tourists uncertain times indicated in the dead of winter. We trudge through the woods to the lake and find ourselves on the set of "The Day After Tomorrow" mixed with the sound track "Alone, alone". Far and wide, is located no one here. Neither the forest nor in the dunes, still on the beach. Impressive. We want the dunes and put back at once to the waist in the snow. Little agreement on the next Küstentag. We want to Nida. The bus has to come spontaneously and do not feel like we stand together with two crazy Australians who spend their summer holiday in the Baltics, in the depths of nothingness. We can take a taxi from 100 miles away and order on the way already indicated in a small snow storm. Arrived in Nida us the subtle reference to the woman in the tourist-information might have to be a little warning. She says that yes we could try like to climb the famous dunes and smiles. Hm pity to ignore Ina and I, unfortunately. We play in the snow slide Lithuanian undergrowth, are located in the tower standing and walking for two hours through the snow. Mind you in the snow to the knees. We are not cold, we left behind in the café and we have no snow mountains thaw, no wet feet, calves and legs when we got back. No. Ina, the old physical therapist thinks at first that her feet are frozen off when we arrive at some point again in the evening in our apartment.
But what can stop us two adventurers already? We descend the next day in the train to Siauliai. In the vicinity of this city is the Hill of Crosses and Kryzniu kalnas. The Lithuanians have here, set up especially during the time of the Soviets as a sign of your researcher resistance again and again thousands of crosses. And this hill is located in the void. Really. We therefore rise from somewhere in the middle of nowhere, wander a bit and then stand in an impressive flurry of crosses. This looks with all that snow and in the absolute loneliness a little curious ...


evening we will drive to Vilnius, where we expand the three-team Ina-Katja-Julia. We have two new Lithuanians Katya and Julia can play a little guide for Ina and she can see the benefits of Lithuanian cafes and bars. The week will be on Sunday morning over much too soon, as I Ina put back on the plane must be impaired for short by the fact that we have to sometimes just go through Ina's entire luggage as hand luggage ...
