Lithuania and straight on to Vilnus

Hello Lithuania! I had only two absolute goals to do in Lithuania (I am sure it deserves more!), meet my Lithuanian friends who I met in Crete and to see Hill of Crosses and first the road was bringing to Vilnus. 

Few days in the nature

After many visits and some city days, was nice to drive back to the nature. Just driving through Warsaw, did not have the feeling to visit this city now. Even I looked from internet in advance for a parking to stay with reasonable price. No. Now we needed some countryside air! 

Auschwitz-Birkenau - The death camps

Arbeit macht frei - Works gives you freedom

This entrance has become worldwide known - it leads to the largest nazi German concentration camp and death camp - AUSCHWITZ.

Wieliczka Salt Mine

Wieliczka salt mine just beside Krakow was quite interesting place to visit. It is protected by Unesco like the old center of Krakow. And only 80 km from there you have Auschwitz-Birkenau! You can very easy spend quite some days on that neighbourhood..

Welcome to Poland

 Welcome to Poland, Rzeczpospolita Polska!

Mountain time! A date with Tatra mountains

Tatra or Tatras mountains are a mountain range between Slovakia and Poland and this was a place I wanted to see. They are also the highest mountain range in Carpathian mountains with highest peak at 2655 meters.

Arriving to Slovakia

Leaving Hungary and to get to Slovakia you need to pass again Danube river, this time by bridge.
