The ferry ride and the first impressions

Hi and welcome!
I decided to start a blog to remember some of the things that happens here, and I will try to write in English so more than my Swedish friends can understand!

The journey started yesterday with finishing the last of the packing and then heading for Halmstad to pick up papers for the car. Then we drove down to Karlshamn, and ate lunch on the way. In Karlshamn came the first problem, how to find the ferry terminal when we ha no address o put in the GPS? Finally we found our way and came to he ferry with plenty of time left. And that was good, because it took a long time to get on to the ferry. All the big trucks needed to back onto the ferry, but luckily we didn't need to do that. The ferry ride was ok, 14 hours is not always exiting, but we slept most of the way.

When we woke up, we could spot Klaípeda, the harbor city in Lithuania. It took a while before it was out turn to get off, but finally we got out.

It took some time to drive to Kaunas, but it was highway the whole time, and both interesting and boring. We saw a lot of small farms with these grey little houses and barns that I didn't know existed, and animals and fields. It's a lot of land that is not used, but the nature seems to be great. Other than this, we didn't see anything during the whole drive.

To arrive in Kaunas gave mixed feelings. Of course the GPS didn't work and we didn't have a good map either. So we stopped at a supermarket and I went inside to ask, and we were only two blocks away! Not pure luck, only skill. ;-)
The house was huge, and didn't smell very good, but the room was very nice. Small, but clean and with big windows.

After dumping all the stuff in the rooms, we went for the next adventure to find the hotel. After some trouble with one way streets, we found our way to the hotel, checked in, and then went out for a late lunch. A quick trip to the mall and supermarket and back to the hotel.

I will try to upload some photos later, but now it's time to sleep! To many new things to see makes me tired.
