The roads in Lithuania were a welcome relief after Poland, relatively well maintained with few cars or trucks and it felt great to put the bike in fifth gear and open up the throttle.
My plan was to make for Vilnius, but first I wanted to make a detour to Grutas Park. The park consists of Soviet statues collected from all over Lithuania. Strange place, but fascinating:
They also had some interesting exhibitions of Soviet paintings, prints, and even stained glass.
I continued on to Vilnius, a very nice and relaxing city. Immediately decided to stay a second night and catch up on some planning. The planning unfortunately doesn't seem to stop when the riding starts and it can be difficult to find time to route plan, write emails, blog, etc. Vilnius has great architecture and many beautiful churches and other buildings:
