Yesterday was a travel day with stops at Rundale Palace and the Hill of Crosses. At Rundale we got a taste of 18th century life (if you were lucky enough to be one of the Baltic Dukes or Duchesses or related to Peter the Great). We had to don blue shoe covers to protect the floor while we were given the grand tour.

At the Hill of Crosses we were informed how the crosses were placed there to represent lost family members who were banished to Siberia. Theses aren’t grave markers, but rather symbols of lost loved ones. We met a contingent of Czech soldiers there who were quite friendly!

From there it was on to Klaipeda.
