Today was mostly a driving day. We left Vilnius in the morning for a drive of 300km to the port city of Klaipėda. During a guided tour we got to see the main attractions of town – starting with the Meridianas (a renovated sailing ship, now serving as a restaurant), then into town for the wood-framed buildings, an odd collection of sculptures and installations and – of course – an option to get stocked up with some amber.

After about two hours we were back on the bus, making it to the ferry terminal, for the short hop over to the Curonian Spit, where another drive of about an hour was waiting for us.
