- Valerie, do we invite?

- To make sure, call date, when trinidad the arrive. And you know what else ... let herded somewhere in Germany, for example. We went there recently, liked it.

- And let us not only in Germany and in the Czech Republic ... So long ago in Prague would like to ...

- Yes, I in general LinkBacks can and in the Czech Republic ...

And so it began ... I got into circulation 14 days, I downloaded a route planner Microsoft AutoRoute 2007 and scored go to Latvia, and Prague. Get away and boring ... And the route passed through Poland. Without thinking twice, added to the route to Warsaw, carnival Krakow and then. Was producing more interesting))) In order not to go empty in Lithuania, the list appeared Kaunas and Vilnius, and then reminded me that in Lithuania there is a remarkable and interesting place near Siauliai, travel which immediately took almost a central place. Since Prague was listed last, then back route honeymoon or pass through Poland, with one overnight stay, or through Dresden / Berlin, which is like, but it did not fit.

After the confirmation, approval, and signatures of all the higher authorities, I started to dig the internet in search of information. Daddy, who I met for the month, weighed two pounds ... were purchased reflective vests, emergency signs, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. Have never reached his hands up to a set of spare bulbs, whose presence is obligatory for the Czech Republic, well, well, can break through. The suitcase is assembled, to receive the visa, navigator almost forcibly handed to a neighbor for giving ... For the last day I accidentally discovered that after Krakow we just have to drop in at Brno, and from Brno to Vienna 1 cm on the map, which is also unforgivable not use)))

So, after much anguish and golovolomovC add and remove any - different cities, the route drawn as follows:

1 day. Moscow - Jurmala (1000 km)

Day 2. Jurmala - Siauliai - Vilnius (Trakai) (370 km) - Kaunas (103 km)

Day 3. Kaunas-Warsaw (450 km)

Day 4. Warsaw-Krakow (355 km)

5 day. Krakow - Brno (344 km)

Day 6. Brno - Vienna (130 km)

Day royal 7. Vienna - Czech Krumlov (260 km)

8 day. Czech Krumlov - Prague (185 km)

Day 9. Prague

Day 10. Prague

Day 11. Prague - Karlovy Vary - Loket - Torun (or how many will drive)

Day 12. Torun - Jurmala (700 km)

Day 13. Jurmala

Day 14. resort Jurmala - Moscow (1000 km)

Looking at the route became frightened, but interesting))). Not a hotel I booked that subsequently saved me, just took with a printout of hotels with addresses outside the cities, which was planned trinidad overnight ... If only I knew that with my companions all Martyshkin work)))

Well, lets go ...

July 9 Even as usual get up at 3 am, 4 pulls away. Our company still includes me, my husband Boris and daughter Dasha. Include navigator to start the report kms. Somehow we have just not happened with the name for a girl, she trip has remained with us "girls". The girl turned out to be dull, all the way to Latvia sends us something in the woods, in caribbean the field, but most of the time still asleep, the road then the line ... trust in it at once train disappeared, and not much to it, we had hoped but in vain ... in difficult situations, it saved us more than once))).

Again according to the custom to first oncoming traffic cops, right in 10 minutes from the entrance. GAI was principled and harmful, not lazy at 4 am to spend on us 30 minutes to write out a receipt for 300 rubles. Because of this, our friend behind the Baltic states, which this time went to the track from another district of Moscow. Caught up with him at the border at 10 am, the path to which has passed without incident, cops and lengthy stops, though in the pouring rain. Only the next morning on television learned that Moscow was flooded.

In a brazen drove a dozen cars and stood third, before Valero. Yes ... never a line on our part, not seen, and above all with Russias numbers, we are caribbean alone.

Before Riga reached exactly 12 hours, trinidad 6 of which Darya slept well, and the remaining time watching cartoons and homyachila sandwiches. We looked at the clouds above Riga, no, not so ... look at CLOUDLET, thinking about the weather in Europe))).

On the way to Jurmala it we still caught up with what we have been overwhelmingly "happy" and represents how carnival we will go all over Europe and enjoy the sights from the window of a car ...

Move into already become a family resort hotel Curonians. caribbean Room we got modestly, very modestly of all, in which we lived, but beach because hotel is not booked in advance, then it royal was happy. Price in the season and for a simple room nekhilyy: 100 euros for three without breakfast.

Poizuchali route for tomorrow and sleep.

Day Two The 12 collected items loaded into the car and handed the keys to the rooms. Our men went to Riga on business and not going back .... Blin, and yet deal in the 12 going to leave already! Of boredom began to feel Dasha Navigator: beat street, Jurmala, put a pedestrian mode and went in search of the globe on foot))). On the way we intercepted, so that our plans did not cruise materialize ...

Already in the car I was pleased with the fact trinidad that the passport is not ready yet one of our travelers - a decade of Mary, daughter Valeria, and this fact train is covered by our entire plan. Rather passport was ready, but the office in which he lay, was only open on Monday, and today was only Friday, but closed firm on the grounds that the employees have cut wages, and therefore not allowed to work on Fridays. These are the consequences of the crisis in Latvia ... Valera our man was not soggy and not correct))), cancel the trip on such a trifle is not going to simply call in the background and asked if he could take the child on the birth certificate, his passport, where it is inscribed, certificates, a passport to exchange and a single, very important document with a photograph of her - a certificate student. He was told that it is possible. On that vacation note, decided to do ... But my wife was warned that if royal something - arrive by plane together with your passport))).

So, our company is in the collection - Im with her husband, Boris, and eight-year old daughter Dasha, and our friend Valera with the ten-year old daughter Mary. Started off in 15 hours. Our first stop was a place near Siauliai. First crossed the border - Latvia, Lithuania, why I got a lifetime of pleasure: the border and there is no truth! The car did not stop, so the documents on Mary is not checked. Already well, passed the first hurdle!

Here it is, it is stunningly strong position on energy, which makes the unprepared tourists open your mouth and say "Is it really badly ...." I was trained as a tourist, so the mouth is not opened, but closely trinidad followed the reaction of fellow travelers ... They were carnival in shock ... All adults ... And my uncle, and the little girl.

Hill of Crosses.

I will not try to be clever and wedding tell where it had come, especially as single answer to this question is no. I will say one thing for those who are wedding about this mountain did not hear anything - this is not a cemetery and nothing to resort do with them. At the moment there is a legend that someone will resort leave on the mountain a small cross, or a large cross (its like someone more like it), what luck. Crosses on the hill is about 50000, ie lucky want to be many))).

Most of all I liked the cross made of shells from road signs. Interestingly, signs of digging machines? )))

More immediately collapses the first day of my trip: trinidad since We left later than the scheduled time, Vilnius and Trakai decided to postpone the return journey, and now go straight to Kaunas, to walk there and get to the border with Poland.

In Kaunas, we arrived at 7 pm. First, have long fought with the staff to pay for parking, just like Don Quixote tilting at windmills))) after 5 minutes the joint efforts found that the parking fee to 19.00, and now more than 19. ticket Cheers! Freedom! You can go wherever you want and watch what you want, and do not be afraid that the car obuyut in a trap, because the Lithuanian money we still do not))).

All the most interesting, of course, was already closed, so we quickly walked around the castle and the old town, and went on. In general, during our visit everything was done quickly, so caribbean a detailed story about the streets-zakoulochki will not))) We go to the "old town" of any city, a quick look at everything, take pictures, get in wherever you can climb, try a beer (men took turns watching someone at the wheel), decide whether to return here on a little longer and go farther))) We have reminded me of the Japanese, who like grasshoppers make raids on places of interest and a crowd rushing further.

Kaunas Castle - the first Lithuanian defensive castle, which became an important part of the defensive system of the city. The castle formed a settlement that grew up over time in a beautiful modern city. The first mention of the castle belongs to 1030, when it was destroyed by the crusaders.

Up to the present day remains of the castle, built by Vytautas in the beginning of 15 century.

Street Aleksoto - there are travel such architectural monuments of Lithuania as a house and church Perknas Vytautas the Great.

Town Hall was built in 16 century and is unofficially called the "White Swan".

Jesuit church.

CHURCH OF ST. George.

The newly photographer.

On the trip, we spent 40 minutes, and as it was quite late, went forward to seek accommodation. Once seated in the car, the girls wore headphones and continued to watch cartoons. Kaunas none of us carnival somehow not impressed ... But the day was not tourism in vain - The Hill of Crosses has its share of emotions.

And then there was uttered the phrase of the day, not even the phrase of the day, but just the motto of our entire trip. Dasha raised earpiece Mary and a very serious voice said in her ear:

"Comedy?, We did two weeks to vacation go ...".

in the car lasted just 30 minutes ...

And this place of our camp, motel near the town of carnival Suwalki.

Number - it is a miracle of course, I called him a chicken coop))) When asked vacation for 2 rooms, I somehow did not raise the idea that they are triple))) Well, never mind, we decided that enough for the night, and then we will know better. Hot / cold water and shower present, that is already well)))

Not slept at all, because windows looked out on the road, constantly came / left wagons, and even with Daria on a bed barely fit))) But ... but there tasty fed ... and there was a menu in Russian, and there we learned the word, which is not allowed in the future, we die of hunger. The magic word - zheberki, ie ribs))) And yet there is well-groomed and beautiful area ... And who are interested, there caribbean is camping for tents and a shower for 8 PLN, ie about 80 rubles.

Approximately 450 km.
