The Involita Hotel provide a wide range of choices of hot and cold breakfast foods.

Using Google maps makes it so easy to navigate in unfamiliar places. You can download the map while online and use it offline. We walked to the KGB museum which is in the old KGB building which includes the interrogation rooms and the gaol beneath. It was a very sobering and sad experience created through politics and power.

We are also keeping up to date with the horrendous situation of the fires in Australia. To see how the community is supporting the RFS and those people who have been affected is very uplifting and shows the better side of humanity. Our hearts and thoughts are with you always❤️.

After the KGB museum we wanted to find the Skybar at Radisson Blu which promised a spectacular view of Vilnius. On the way we found a shopping complex where Michele purchased her new Europe hat – very classy!

At the Radisson we took the lift to the 22nd floor to find the bar would not open until 6pm. So we took photos from the windows and then settled for G&Ts in the classy hotel lobby.

The darkness began to set in so we made our way back across the Neris River to the next museum we wanted to see.

There was a permanent exhibition displaying optical illusions and light tricks. The other display was of particular interest to Teresa as it was all about absurd inventions and patents. There was also a whole section dedicated to Chindogu, which is a whole lot of useless gag inventions native to Japan.

We tried to get a table at the restaurant that we couldn’t get into the day before but this time we were ignored. This particular street seemed to be the one place that every tourist wanted to eat in, so we decided to go wider. We found a lovely little ‘GastroPub’ called Mason. Here we ordered beef stroganoff, which was served with fries and pickles! We washed these delicious meals down with some Italian Pinot Grigio. Wine is actually quite expensive over here in European restaurants (from previous experiences also). We commented that in Australia, ordering a bottle of wine to share with dinner usually keeps drinks cost down. Over here it seems to be the opposite, if you stick with beer or spirits you will have a much cheaper bill. You can still pick up a decent bottle of wine for around €7 at the supermarket though.

Dinner done, it was time to make our way back to our apartment and get our things in order. Latvia tomorrow. Labos nakties!
