Vilnius
Staying at the Vilnius city camping has been great. We are close to the centre which is the most bike friendly of the Baltic capitals.
There is plenty to look at but it's small enough to get around easily.
From the looks of it there are plenty of events as well, like a bike marathon that was on this morning and a graffiti street art festival.
The old town is well preserved with countless winding lanes and churches.
Yesterday was the day to get married in Vilnius it seems. There was bridal party after bridal party. With taffeta clad princesses getting there awkward lean on in front of over the top photographers. It was quite a sight. A tradition for the newly weds is to put a lock often with names engraved on a bridge. It is suppose to represent wedlock. The bridges in Vilnius are covered in them.
