Geo: 54.6896, 25.2799 GÜN 22 günlerden Cumartesi Bugün, artık uçsuz bucaksız Kuzey Avrupa ülkelerinde bir başımızayız. MIO'muz (GPS) artık çalışmıyor.... zira Latvia,Litvanya ve Estonya haritaları henüz hazır değilmiş. Türkçe tercümesi :Artık yol bulma konusunda ,kendi kaderimizle başbaşayız. Notlarımda aynen şöyle yazılı . Bugün 07:00 de kalktım. Biraz tedirginim zira MIO nun son günü.. Litvanyadan, Finlandiya ya kadar MIO falan yok. Yahu ben eskiden, MIO'suz falan nasıl dolaşırmışım? O komünist dönemlerde, kiril alfabeli yollarda nasıl gidermişim ? Hatırlamıyorum bile. Allah işimizi hayretsin.... Yine de MIO efendilik edip, bizi sınıra kadar getirdi ve sınırdan hemen sonra aniden yok oldu. Bu kez feci hata yapan benim. İnanı... read more

After hanging out in Riga for a while, we hopped on a bus South to Vilnius the capital of Lithuania. We had heard good things about Vilnius that it was like Riga but without all the tourists and we had met two guys in our hostel from Vilnius who assured us that Vilnius was very nice. They even offered us a lift there the next day but after watching them drink three quaters of a bottle of Jack Daniels between them and with another in thier bags we chose to use our bus tickets. We got to Vilnius and were forced inside as it started raining. This was the first time it had rained enough for us to cancel our plans since we left the UK, so we weren't to upset. Vilnius was a nice enough ... read more

OK, so checked out the Old Town, walked up to the castle for the best view of the city, and went to the former KGB headquarters to explore the old cells, execution rooms, etc. and the museum. Interesting. It is a neat old city here too. Had my 2nd day of really fatty, fried pancakes with meat in them. Maybe a little trip outside the city now--we'll see.... read more

Mileage ~2400 miles After leaving Berlin we travelled East and along the Polish North coast to Gdansk, a small city on the coast. We spent a couple of hours trying to find somewhere to stay as it had been pouring with rain and we weren't interested in camping. We eventually happened upon a very nice hotel in the centre of the city where we could put our feet up. We ate that night at a cafe looking out onto an attractive street. The next morning we explored Gdansk which was small enough to enjoy by foot. The buildings were quaint and unobtrusive, and we walked along the peaceful canal past the amber stalls (the region is renowned for its amber jewellery). We left in the afternoon for Lithuania but slow roads meant we spent a second ... read more
