The tourist weekend

The weekend seemed to fly away.
Saturday was spent shopping and touristing in Kaunas. Kaunas is a quite big city, the second biggest city in Lithuania, and the fourth biggest in the Baltic countries. We started the the by going to Hyper Maxima, and then we continued down to Kaunas city, to see what the town had to show. It was nice, we had lunch at a café and walked around in both the "new city" and the Old town, but we didn't go all the way down to the water, witch, we understood later, was the thing to do. We decided to take the trolley thing up to what was supposed to be a place with a nice view over Kaunas, but we didn't find it, only a HUGE church that we didn't look further into.

We walked past another big church on our way through town to Akropolis, the big mall. We bought some more things, like a lamp, a pot, a prying pan and a water boiler. We also had time to buy ice-cream before the mall closed.

We didn't do so much more this day, ate an early dinner and then watched "Gäster med gester", it was fun!

We started Sunday to drive my stuff to the room, and the off to Trakai! Trakai is a town outside Vilnius (the capital of Lithuania) and it has a very famous castle that is open to public. It was very interesting, and nice to see. There were also a lot of small tourist shops and we bought a few postcards and a present to dad. =)

We drove the longer way home, and saw a lot of small, grey houses in the valleys, and also a horse in front of an old wagon all loaded with cabbage! So sad that we didn't stop to take a picture!

Monday was mums last day here, so we went down to the old town again and saw the tower there, and an old church and a new one. There are a lot of big, beautiful churches here.
We also met Nida and her mum in the city, and talked to them for a while, nice!
Back at the room we fixed a little and then the other Linnea came with her mum. We talked for a little bit and then the time had come for mum to leave. After that I went to the school to fix internet and then tidied up among my stuff a little, and now it's soon time to sleep!
