Vilified in Vilnus

Whew! I have made it to the Baltics. Just letting everyone know that I am alive and well. I stayed an extra day in Warsaw with Dzido. I needed to do some winter-clothes shopping and him and I needed to catch up. I mean come on, we were apart for a whole month! Gotta say, Poland is a great place for bagin shopping. Forget heading to the US for deals, just hitch a ride to Warsaw. The prices are the same as they would be in Canada, except they are in zloty. So a warm winter jacket cost me 220zl, which equals about 40 British pounds (sorry that is the currency I have, so that is what I convert to now, I am so chic!). Even in Canadian dollars that is a bargin! So I am equipped for whatever these Baltic countries throw at me in terms of weather.

The train to Vilnus was a bit long. Left at 7am from Warsaw and arrived at 5:45pm, but there was a time change of one hour in there that I was unaware of. Still, I was glad to get off the train...that is until I tried to find the bus to my hostel. The bus station is a extremely complicated in Vilnus. Well, not really, it is very simple but my brain was failing me and it took me a good half hour to find where the bus I needed was. But I made it to the hostel and I have a nice little dorm room with only one other person in it (for now). I begin exploring this wonderful looking country tomorrow and will get some pictures up.

PS- title of the blog isn't refering to anything, I just like alliteration.
