3 Day Trip Across Lithuania

Traditions should be respected. For the third year in a row I have been celebrating my birthday at one of the former Soviet Union member country's capital city. Year ago, I spent awesome birthday in Tallinn (Estonia) and two years ago in Yerevan, Armenia. 

It was planned to visit Minsk (Belarus) for this year, but instead of Minsk, my better part took me on a lovely three day ride across Lithuania, reaching Vilnius (capital of Lithuania) in a second day.

Now, another year, another awesome birthday - rural tourism with urban dressing! Not to speak more, here are TOP 17 sites we visited during my 31st birthday trip
