Day 23 - Today started with clouds and rain. One of the first things we did was visit the Old Town Public Market building as it's just a few hundred meters from our hotel.
I'm putting the cat here for a reason. We had not seen a single roaming cat on this trip after more than three weeks. We have friends who recently took a Mediterranean cruise and provided a cat photo from every single port. We love how in Turkey cats are a part of public life, even in the cities. On the other hand, getting from Berlin though Poland seemed a bit of a cat-free zone. We noted cat food in the stores and on TV ads, but we witnessed none, except in a travelling box someone had on a train. So, this cat in the public market came as a bit of a surprise.
We used our transit passes a lot today. Sometimes it was hard to figure out where we'd end up, but it was easy and a great way to look around. We arrived by train and will leave on a bus, but ended up at the Vilnius airport today because of a bus we were on. We also went far across the river out towards the modern sprawl of the city.
We always ended up being some place we wanted though.
We visited both new and old.
We got to some places in the evening that we'll take more time to explore tomorrow too. This city really does have a lot to discover.
We have definitely needed three days just to get a 'feel' of the capital city here. Tomorrow will be our last full day in Vilnius, Lithuania. We could easily spend a month, I'm sure!
