Vilnius

We have explored Vilnius over the past three days. There are 48 churches but will not put on three photos of each. There are lots of restaurants, cafes and bars and we have tried most! The most popular food in Lithuania today is actually pizza.We settled for the more traditional foods.

 The St Anna's  church with the brick Baroque face and on the right the Bernardine Church. These are close to our apartment.

The gardens of Bernadine Park. We are between these and the Cathedral Square where all the best restaurants are located.

              The wall in Literatu Street with plaques from authors, poets and artists.

                                                         One of the plaques on the wall.

                                       The Bastion of the Vilnius defensive walls.

                                            The Cathedral Bell Tower. We climbed to the top.

                       The view from the top to the Cathedral and beyond that to Gedminas Tower.

                                                          The view the other way.

         The Stebuklas tile. In 1989 an estimated 2 million people from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania formed a continuous human chain across the 3 Baltic countries to protest Soviet occupation. This marks one end.

                      The most famous Lithuanian dish. We shared these potato dumplings!

                                                      So that you will know what to order!
