Warsaw to Vilnius - a refreshing change

Brandenburg gate in the rain.
Holocaust memorial, Berlin
Didn't find it last time.
Checkpoint Charlie in the rain.
Berlin wall in the rain.
SS offices (very educational)-still raining!
Brussels Midi train station.
St Pancras-waiting for Josie.
Darlo train station.

Spent the day looking round Warsaw-not much to see-very weird!!!! Was like going back to the 80's (would not recommend a visit!!!!) Very helpful lady in bus booking office even escorted us to the bus stop to catch the overnight bus to Vilnius. Bus wasn't bad, managed to get about 5 hours sleep (not bad). Warsaw bus station was very weird (much worse version of Middlesbrough bus station) , even weirder than Warsaw. Vilnius however, is much nicer-lots of old buildings that are being completely renovated. Actually quite posh in places, much different to how I remember it 10 years ago! We mananged to find a restaurant that Rachael and I had a coffee in 10 years ago.
Very cold here and snowing a little. We know where the term baltic comes from now! Definetly reccomend a visit.
