"A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water." - Carl Reiner

Baltics trip
Day 3 - 18th May - Trakai, Lithuania
(Part 2)

We went to Trakai, home to a reconstructed castle.

The town reminded us of Malaysia a lot, because it was smelly and there were a lot of potholes.
