Biked about 2 miles today for a total of 432 miles.

Sunny and warm to Hot. Cooler in the shade. Absolutely no rain.

Got up at 6:30 am to catch the 7:30 am bus to Vilnius. Road with Ecoline bus service - free coffee, tea, WiFi.

Straight shot from Riga to Vilnius on freeway. Arrived at 11:15 am.

Left our gear at la ocker, as our AirBNB room would not be ready until 3:00 pm.

We went on a walking tour in the old town and in the fictious republic of Uzupis, created by drunken artists and now celebrated by locals and tourists. Good overview of Vilnius centrally.

Had a difficult time finding our new home, but it was worth it. It is a studio apartment near the only left gate to the old city called the Gate of Dawn.

Had a good dinner in old town on this warm, sunny evening.

Napolean falsely was claimed that he loved this Cathederal.

Church in the photo
That'll be St Casimir's church, not St Catherine's church.

Opps
I changed it to St Casimir's church. Thank you for noting this. If any other errors are found let me know. Terry
