One of the things about off the beaten track Europe is that it's a little harder getting in and out of there, like there's not just a eurail going everywhere.
So I spent some time working on how we'd get into Vilnius and came up with a really cheap flight.
The flight routed through Warsaw and Riga which is how we stopped back over in Warsaw.
Quick stop to talk about Warsaw too-- we really went through the old town this time, which has a more torun feel the cobblestone streets and flower basket restaurants.
It made me excited like maybe there's other little Toruns around the place oozing romance and love.
Ok so our flight to Riga is delayed and we miss our connection. So because the Balkans are tiny they decide get this that it's faster and maybe cheaper to give us a taxi to Vilnius.
So we wind up on this three hour taxi ride from town to town with two other people one of whom is this very intense but also very cool human rights activist vegan chick who does a lot of work with sex workers rights. So interesting BC I come at it from a very sex slave perspective and her very much from a sex workers union red alliance perspective.
We get to Vilnius at long last and it's just magic. There's a Thai massage place attached to our apartment building. To get to our apartment you have to go through this tunnel with graffiti to this local square with smoking waiters and
into a secret door with another courtyard and then you go down a couple stairs into our beautiful little hobbit hole.
Vilnius itself is also magic; it's only one block of stuff basically but we wandered around and
basically moved in seeing a bunch of minor church and pretty architecture sights. Also here Hearts of Iron 4 came out so we played computer games and got massages as well.
Ok party on. Having an amazing time in Mongolia.
