Baltic Adventures

I spent the last week in the city of Vilnius, Lithuania - half work, half pleasure. Ok, nearly all pleasure. The sun was shining and the best water park I have ever been to only a short bus ride away. The world needs more flumes godammit. I am told that I was travelling at 60km/hr on one of them. I have no idea if this is true or not, I spent all five seconds of the almost vertical drop unable to breathe. On stopping, the next problem I was instantly faced with was how to rearrange my swimsuit with a small amount of dignity. Not possible.


When travelling at a much more dignified and leisurely pace it seemed that every turn revealed another building worthy of a photo...





On the rare occasion that I wasn't gazing upwards, there were sights to be seen at street level. Including...



A wall of teapots...


And the shortest shorts I have ever seen.
