VilNews is on its way around Europe! 
Throughout January you are all invited on a
journey from north to south, from east to west. Some
articles will dwell with history. Some with Lithuanian contact
points in various countries. I have travelled across Europe with
camera and notepad for nearly 40 years and hope you will enjoy seeing
and reading about some of my experiences. Today's tour starts in Tallinn,
capital of Estonia, continues to Riga, and ends up in Kaunas. Have a nice trip!

Today our journey starts in the 'Danish city' of Tallinn, Estonia. We drive from there south through several Hanseatic towns, and arrive in metropolis Riga
in Latvia. From there we follow the coast to the tourist town of Jurmala,
before we cross the border into Lithuania, to Klaipeda and Kaunas!
