After my last mongering escapade in Klaipeda decided to keep a low profile. Lithuania has some of the most beautiful women you will set your eyes on in eastern Europe but I wanted to move onto Poland.
I was also interested in visiting Gdansk in Poland which is also on the Baltic coast but you could not travel direct from Klaipeda to Gdansk. Problem is there is a Russian enclave in the way called Kaliningrad. I managed to book up a really nice cheap apartment in Vilnius at short notice via AirBnb but for just 4 nights rather then spending a week there. My impression was mongering in Vilnius would not be much different to that of Klaipeda.
I purchased a coach ticket from Klaipeda to Vilnius the day before for 15 euros. The journey time was 4 hours. I am realising I really dont like these coach trips despite the cheap price, just to cramped. I recommend you buy two seats next to each other to give you more room. Not feeling that good waking up that last morning in Klaipeda like might be coming down with flu or something. Hopefully I would shake it off in Vilnius.
At the bus station in Vilnius was really low on energy so just jumped into a taxi to take me to my apartment even though it was within walking distance. The taxi driver made a meal of the journey and charged me 7 euros.
I am still not feeling good and got the shits now. Unfortunately I had the shits bad and for the first two nights and days in Vilnius I have to just stay in apartment, this was not part of the plan. Klaipeda had really kicked the shit out of me, literally. So much for wandering off the beaten path. Problem was I not have that long to recover in Vilnius as only had the apartment for 4 nights. On day 3 still feeling shit but wander out onto the mean streets of Vilnius.
