It took us a while to get to the Castle Hill because our bus took an unexpected road. We had to walk back across the river and take another. However we were at Castle Hill in a short time and we were dropped off near the funicular.
The breeze was a bit cool. Occasionally the sun was covered by the clouds. However, it was well worth the 2€ fee for us to ride up down. In fact, I added one of this photos as my 'representative' single image of Lithuania in my Flickr album of Countries I've Visited. It was great to head down to Cathedral Square in order to find the 'Miracle Tile'.
I can vaguely remember the Baltic Way. (Link to Wikipedia article.) Jay and I would have been working in Bahrain when this took place and I'm sure that many people our age, from outside this area, may have forgotten about the fall of the Soviet Union.
We did want to find the location here where the human chain of people 490 kilometers holding hands stretched to the capital of Tallin, Estonia. The so called, Miracle Tile can be found near the front of the Cathedral where the first person stood!
What a nice way to remember our time in Vilnius, Lithuania!
