TrakaiTrakai is the next biggest city in Lithuania. It was really nice of Amb Dainius to drive us all the way! The journey itself took about 45 mins. Then funniest part about it was when he stopped us literally right in front of the castle AND we couldn't see it!! It was so foggy that when he pointed straight ahead, all we saw was fog and more fog. And it wasn't even one of those things where you squint your eyes and go "Oohh there it is!". We just couldn't see it!!
Anyways the lake separating us from the castle was totally frozen. It was really very beautiful!! =) Wells, we walked along this bridge that led to another, and as we got closer, the grandeur of the castle became more and more evident! It was bright red!! (Well not quite BRIGHT red but something to that extent lahh)
This photo was taken by a Japanese tourist. The MOST perfect picture. We were all saying that if it's anyone who can take photos, it's gotta be the Japanese. It's their gift, ESPECIALLY if they're tourists!! He even gave us instructions to move so that it'll be nice. What more can you ask for?! He commented that Jon's 5.0 Ixus was a "little" small. Haha!
We were a little early and the castle hadn't open yet. So some random photos. =)
Jon insisted that we took this photo. And Yanxuan insisted that she chopped him. I tell you, she really really wants to do that. She's really mean to Jon you know? Poor guy.
We headed back to Vilnius after that, totally knocked out on the bus. So tired!! We roamed the streets for the rest of the evening before having a superb dinner at this place called Pizza Jazz. The food's fantastic!! Too bad no photos to tempt you guys. Agne had booked a table for us at this "supposedly" jazz bar . Think we got there a little late, and ended up having to listen to some funny mambo techno music. Hmmm. It was nice drinking though!!
The bus ride to Riga was long and quite scary ......
