Day 74: Rest Day in Vilnius

September 13, 2024

Revisiting sights and a Street Fair

We love having a rainy day as a rest day, especially when it was already planned. Yesterday also was rainy off and on but nothing serious. We are waiting for the afternoon thunderstorm predicted but not materialized. Tomorrow, we move on riding the final segment to Gdansk and ferry to Stockholm then Home!

We find a coffee shop open when we venture out around 830. There are small vegetable quiches and a big cup of cappuccino and a delicious

We walk to St. Anne's Church which isn't open yet and to the Uzupio section again. We decide to come back later this afternoon to explore more.

We walked back to the Cathedral Square and into the small Chapel of Saint Casimir that we missed yesterday.

We will come back later this afternoon for a beer and fingerfood at the bar

We returned to the University to look for some of the hidden courtyards. Church of St. John's and BellTower

Inside the Church of Saint John's

We took a break back at the room before venturing out again for lunch. We are in search for a Vietnamese Restaurant. On the way we see there is The Nation Fair with booths lining the street for blocks. There were booths of food and crafts from multiple nations even an American BBQ. This is the street we will ride out tomorrow, so we'll see how easy that will be.

The stretch with food booths from many different nations

Lunch at Saigon Restaurant Fresh Spring Rolls and Pho

Taking a break again until around 5 we walk back to Uzupio Area, St. Anne's Church is now open.

The Uzupio Constitution is written out in 43 languages and posted on a wall. This is the Dutch Translation. It includes "dogs are allowed to be dogs" and "Cats are under no obligation to love their owners"

We find the Street Art

And then the beer....
