Luxury is a relative term when backpacking. Sometimes it's an expensive coffee, or a sit-down dinner. You know it's been a rough trip when you pray for a dorm with no snoring. With an early morning flight out of Kaunas, Lithuania the following day, luxury was a single hotel room, a few extra litas to spend on dinner and an early morning taxi.
Kaunas reinforced Lithuania as the most enjoyable of the Baltics for me. I arrived late afternoon with a few hours left of daylight to wander. It's small, full of character and charm. And a fantastic three course French-influenced dinner on the main square, paired with wine for the price of an Earl's entree at home. Followed up with a light rain and vivid sunset, and my Baltic sojourn ended sweetly.
