Hiya ,
end of May I visited my parents in Lithuania. After more than 3 months without it, I got it on 23/05/2010 from the airport in from Kaunas. The joy that they finally see again in real life was enormous. After we have welcomed and thoroughly, we headed by bus to the city center of Kaunas . This weekend was Kaunastag and the streets were lined with thousands of people sell to make a purchase, or just their Imagined city. I think the first impression of my family was very good. In the evening we go on with the bus after Panevezys . All were made from all the running and very happy at last to arrive in the evening in our apartment. The surprise of a different kind, and White was my parents, Sophia and Omi written on their faces as they entered our home. Even in Volunteerkreisen it is considered very special. Influenced by nu more of the 4th Generation of volunteers, it is decorated very colorful and decorated. This week my family was able to learn what it mean to live a volunteer. . To sleep 4 in a room with a mattress and sleeping bag equipped, they felt quite comfortable in Kniaudiskiu - Flat .
of my roommates Jojo and Ramon they were welcomed warmly. After supper many retire to bed and keep already full of anticipation to the visit to my project on Monday.
made after breakfast, the five adventurers on Lithuania Monday morning on the beautiful, tranquil Krekenava . On the way there they were a little insight into the Lithuanian get real landscape, but very surprised that the area is rather sparsely populated. After arriving in Krekenava and a small city tour we walked to the Directorate of Krekenava Regional Park. My work. A Baumkuchenas as a small gift in Peddo , we entered the Directorate and were warmly welcome by my colleagues. Songs were on this day "only" Roberats , Nijole and Jolanta there. After a tea and lively conversation, we headed to the reservation of the bisons . We were driven by Jolanta un Nijole . The animals did to my family the same impression as me. Strong, proud, fearless and yet they are threatened with extinction. Of the Mosquitoes was badgered us Jolanta their property and then we were invited by Jolanta for tea. That is Lithuania. A hospitality that is often something missing in Germany. A beautiful day was over and we went on back to Pane. There should be the last surprise waiting for my Ellis, Sophia and brave Omi . My mentor had invited us all to eat Zeppelins, which were prepared by her mother . Ramon and John were also on the lot and it developed a very nice evening, which for me in the confusion the languages ended. I was so tired at the end and tired of translating, I just wanted to in my bed.
occurred on Tuesday we travel to Trakei . Of course with the bus we headed to the most beautiful water castle of Europe, which is located near Vilnius .
Kaputt of the bus and taking some time pressure finally arrived in Trakei , we were rewarded for the effort and got a beautiful castle to see. This was due to the season not yet tourism flooded and we had enough time to look at everything.
After a nice walk around the Palace, What grandma well again with much enthusiasm mastered, we came back the trip to Panevezys on. Again very tired, annoyed drive from many bus, but happy about the experience of the evening ended on a quiet round of in our kitchen.
On Wednesday, I could persuade my parents still take a bus trip last with me. This time I took even more convincing, as the efforts of recent days had left its mark. Our destination was Siauliai . The Hill of Crosses, which is lined with 200,000 crosses. A place of pilgrimage for many Catholics, because this mountain is unique in Europe. So many crosses on the mountain, there are so many stories about him. Unfortunately the weather was that day not in the cards and it started to rain. As we returned to our bus Siauliai and then had to get Panevezys we were on our way to 1 km from the bus stop. On this day my family got another Lithuanian to normality. Bus schedules are relative! Fully soaked by the rain and annoyed by the wind, we had longer than a 1/4h waiting for the bus. The mood was of course in the basement. As the bus at last arrived, we were all very happy. On the last night in Panevezys sat we once again all together and let the good week Revue happen. With joy I could see that my parents really liked Lithuania. Even my grandma was very different from this, something else, the country enthusiastically. I'm very happy about it.
On Thursday we went back after Kaunas, where we spent our last night in a hotel. After the check Mom, Dad, and I did Sophia uncertain something the city. Singing and dancing youth on the streets were the reward. Another piece Lithuania . Grandma we left this time because the efforts of the last few days but were very high. I'm super happy that you were there and you have persevered for so great. 'm Proud of you, as you see me on.
I led my parents to have a vantage point in Kaunas and the old castle. Suddenly it was already evening.
adopted Friday morning I was in the hotel of my parents, who were of German, very nice owner driven to the airport.
I went to sleep later in the day and threw myself into my next adventure ............
