A quiet morning in Cathedral Square - Vilnius

Vilnius has changed a lot since I first went about 7 years ago -- the bus and train stations have been totally refurbished and buildings throughout the old town are being renovated -- when I went this year I noticed how busy it was.

I really need to spend more time in Lithuania -- I often arrive early in the morning by bus from Gdansk and then later in the day take a bus to Riga or Tallinn -- I've stayed overnight a couple of times but must stay longer and explore more of Lithuania.

There are some photos of general street scenes in my Travelogue below.
