Now we are back on the Northern side, spending a year in the beautiful town of Kedainiai, in the Kaunas district of Lithuania. Hitchhiking, yes, finished three...[read more]

Huge traffic and oven baking temperatures make it tricky to catch a right, until a former hitchhiker brings us 2...[read more]
