Dear VT friends,
thank you for stopping and reading my letter to you ;-) I hope you are doing well and I wish you a lot of nice trips in 2009...
I live in Klaipeda. It is the third bigest city in Lithuania after capital Vilnius and the second bigest city Kaunas. Klaipeda is different from other places in Lithuania, because it it the Sea Port on Baltic Sea. There are also dunes of white sand, wild beaches. It takes few minutes by ferry to get to Curonian Spit- the highest dunes in Europe. Its beauty and value was recognized by UNESCO and included into the World Heritage List. And what I really love - it is Sea wind, what you will never feel in other cities of Lithuania ;-) Please, check official Klaipeda page www.klaipeda.lt , also Curonian Spit http://www.nerija.lt/en/foto/kopos.php
please, check my tips and ask me everything what you want to know about Klaipeda - I will be happy to help you.
Last weekend of July or first weekend of August we celebrate the Sea festival and 1 August birthday of Klaipeda city. This year we were lucky to host European folklor festival Europead 2009 and then the Tall Ship Races also visited Klaipeda. Let me share some pictures from my city and festival. |
| The Tall Ships' Races in Klaipeda |
The Tall Ships' Races Nothing makes Klaipeda more beautifull but Tall Ships. We never had such a beautifull festival and such a beautifull view of the port. |

| The Sea Festival dance lesson |
Lesson of dance There are many other atractions on the streets, including lessons of dance. |
Klaipeda Castle port There was a bit problem to find a place for boat, all keys were fully ocupied. |
Sunset in Klaipeda, Lithuania Wind and rain are trademarks of Klaipeda, but on the Tall Ships' races weekend the wind decided not to work hard. We can only imagine the beauty of tall ships with white sails... No wind - no sails... |
| Boats in Dane river, Klaipeda, Lithuania |
Smaller boats are always welcome as well. The Klaipeda city river Dane was full of nicely decorated boats creating a wonderfull atmosphere of the festival. |
Klaipeda The Sea Festival for me means boat trips, a lot of beer, a lot of concerts, a lot of noise, closed streets, open markets, crowds of people.... |
