Finally day free from cycling! Decided to go take a peek to Vilnius using public transportations - had to use 2 busses to make the 35km trip there. Its another super hot day and old busses, or actually mini busses didn't off have a/c.
Managed to get myself to the cent rum near the old town and made my way in. First to come was a huge bazaar with couple hundred small stands selling very different products of human kind. The old town was pretty typical old town, but think it had more churches than usually - about 20 within square kilometer.
The way back from Vilnius was more troublesome with the bus getting stuck in rush hour traffic and the second bus covering the last 5km just leaving me 'cold' to walk back to campsite. Thanks to all the walking, got nice blisters as souvenir, and this was supposed to be a break day.
However day had better ending - it is Finnish midsummer's festival day, though not celebrated around here - there was great fireworks show shot from a castle over the lake. Also enjoyed the evening with 2 camper vans full of Finns as well as 2 German hikers. And special thanks to the couple from Kotka for the coffees and the potatoes!
