More Lithuanian hospitality

Thursday May 21, 2009

Our kind host, whose name I drunkenly forgot, woke us at 7 a.m. for coffee. I was a little hung over, and surprised our host was up so early. I was again surprised to find our host had cooked us breakfast, fried potatoes and fish. We said goodbye to his friend, our generous host had disappeared as we packed up. We rode towards Panevezys, Daniela almost jumped off her bike when she saw a snake at the side of the road, if I had seen it I imagine I would have reacted in the same way.

We stopped to buy food and use the internet in town, then struggled to find our way out of Panevezys, it was 4 pm before we were out of town. We cycled on covering around 100 km before seeking permission to camp at a familys farm house. They seemed to be an idilyic family, with many children. They let us camp on their lawn, and even brought us out coffee.
