First to Turkey, then to Lithuania.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Again, pulling the scattered notes from my notebooks, I present them to you. A considerable part of the text had to be rewritten and translated into understandable Lithuanian.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>01 &#8211; 08.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I traveled in and out of Turkey. Unfortunately, due to travel, I have so little time to write that I don&#039;t even have time to describe them. And half a week after my return (I&#039;m writing this paragraph on the 13th), time has not increased.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I enjoyed the trip. It was fun, despite the fact that during it I broke up with my girlfriend Mileta, with whom I had been communicating for almost a year. It&#039;s a pity that I had to do this while in Turkey, but it was not my idea. Che.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I don&#039;t know if I will ever describe this trip. But if I have a lot of time, and there is enough desire, I promise to do it. The story of the transfer from Alanya to Pamukkale and back is worth quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">~ Update November 2016, today:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I won a trip to Turkey in the lottery together with my girlfriend at the time. The only problem is that she decided during the trip that she slept with another guy a few weeks ago, so now it&#039;s time to break up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Naturally, the first 4 days in Turkey were &quot;Daniel, it&#039;s rude to cry in front of other people&quot; on repeat. The next 3 days, however, were tolerably good: while traveling I realized that there is nothing to be afraid of other people (even Turks), but it is important to be open to experience adventures.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>09 &#8211; 10.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As soon as I returned, I went on a kayak (or rather canoe) trip through the rivers of Auk\u0161taitija Park with my best friends. It was wonderful!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">~ Update November 2016, today:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While kayaking, I realized: <strong>a)<\/strong> You realize you&#039;re divorced only after a day or two, <strong>b)<\/strong> Friends help divert attention and it&#039;s nice, <strong>c)\u00a0<\/strong>Placing items in plastic garbage bags and tying them tightly is a must. If you don&#039;t want to catch rabbits swimming in the river.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>11.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When I finally returned home, I found out that I will stay at home until Friday to feed the animals and plants, while my parents leave for Juodkrant\u0117 and take a year&#039;s vacation. That&#039;s what I do. At least there was time to fix the work that fell in two weeks. Phew!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, these days I also traveled. With my best friend Jurgita, I took part in a water fight at Panemune beach and later visited the Linkuva mansion and the cemetery in \u0160ilainiai.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2026Loved the water battle. The mansion was the biggest disappointment of the month, not only because we didn&#039;t see the beauty of the mansion as described online (there were plastic windows and crumbling roofs everywhere), but we also got a killer look from the local babulka carrying the laundry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(By the way, the cemetery is nothing special either, although it was described as beautiful. It turns out that you shouldn&#039;t trust everyone who describes their travels on the Internet. *Costeli*).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">~ Update November 2016, today:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It turns out that you don&#039;t need to live in New York to find new, unseen places, unplanned meetings, new people and entertainment. I noticed this over the following years as well.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>12.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I finally visited with the same friend <a href=\"https:\/\/g.co\/kgs\/LmQcaV\">in the \u010ciurlionis Museum in Kaunas<\/a>. Music, pictures, peace and meditation - go as you like! Oh, and the design and layout of the museum is worthy of attention!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Really, this is the best Kaunas museum I&#039;ve been to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Well, or maybe it&#039;s because I love \u010ciurlionis&#039; works. After all, even now, at this moment, I am listening to these words as I write them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l2IxeD-FVuw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VL317 of the \u010ciurlionis &quot;J\u016bros&quot; cycle of small landscapes<\/a>. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">~ Update November 2016, today:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As I realized later, not all museums in Lithuania are so cool. \u010ciurlionis, \u0160MC, Velni\u0173 - cool! The birthplace and unknown house of some unknown poet? Eeeeehhh\u2026<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>13.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Today I traveled to Girionii in Kaunas district. Search <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Geocaching<\/a> treasures where there really is no shortage of them. There I counted as many as 20 in two square kilometers!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you like trees, nature, forests or just lobbying - stop by there. You can with children too, as most of the treasures are easy to reach and find. I guarantee that I will return there again, because I have not seen such a beautifully arranged environment in Lithuania for a long time. Heaven!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">~ Update November 2016, today:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yes, that side of the Kaunas district is really cool. Girionys, Kadagii valley, Marias, Panemune heath... And so - to search <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Geocaching<\/a> treasure is great fun! I have already found about 200 today.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>14.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Today I made a small adventure again - I went to a cafe that I have wanted to visit for a long time. I drink green bean coffee that smells like pea soup and tastes like a tea and nut solution. Interesting taste.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I try it together <a href=\"https:\/\/impossiblehq.com\/workstation-popcorn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Workstation Popcorn method<\/a>. It&#039;s partially working - I&#039;m still writing to the blog. I guess it would have worked even better if I had come in knowing what I wanted to work on. In the future, I will try the method in more detail and if it works, I will describe it, because it sounds really fun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For now, simple trips are simple adventures. Today I planned to travel to Nida, but I was afraid of the endless rain (it&#039;s hard when I don&#039;t even have anything to wear to stand in the rain). Small adventures in Kaunas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">~ Update November 2016, today:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That cafe was &quot;Green Cafe&quot; on Laisves avenue. It became my favorite cafe in Kaunas. For some reason, I didn&#039;t repeat Workstation Popcorn anymore. I guess it didn&#039;t work.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>15.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Linksmakalni, oh Linksmakalni - why are you so unhappy? \u2026And not a mountain? I went to Linksmakalnis, a town near the Kaunas-Prienai road, to look for more treasures in the ruins of the former radio station.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It was fun. I just didn&#039;t find the treasure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As soon as I got to the place of the treasure, not only did it start to rain, but a local, trained guard also came.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\">&quot;Good afternoon, this is private property,&quot; he says, opening the car door.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cUm\u2026\u201d I stammer, \u201cOver here?\u201d I ask, pointing down at the curb below me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\">&quot;Yes, everywhere here is private property, it is forbidden to be there, cameras are watching. Are you waiting for something here?&#039;, he blurts out quickly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\">Confused, I take my phone in my hands, open the map and pretend I&#039;m lost - &quot;I must be wrong,&quot; I say. I add &quot;Thank you&quot; and wait for him to finally close the car door, because the sleeves of my white shirt are already sticking quite well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\">&quot;Well, you can&#039;t be here,&quot; he replies and closes the door.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I, not really understanding anything, sit for a while, then put the phone away, start the car and think about going back by bike next time. As I drive away, I notice in the mirror how that guy is taking pictures of my car&#039;s license plates...<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">~ Update November 2016, today:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some treasures are hidden in rather strange places. Sometimes there are strange people in them. But I had no more problems with it. It is important to lobby where allowed! (Or not.)<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>16&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>And unfortunately, this is where the blog stops.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#039;t know why, but I can&#039;t find any other sheets, notes, memories, and I don&#039;t remember that I ended the month with a victory. So I can guess that while the idea of the monthly challenge was cool, the execution wasn&#039;t interesting enough to continue.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#039;s what I experienced in a month with travel!<\/p>\n<p>And here is my story.<\/p>\n<p>Little traveled,<br \/>\n<strong>Daniel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S<\/strong> Now I find that traveling annoys me.
