Our little car was packed with items borrowed from across the family and with camping gear and kitchenware from wherever we found some spares.
We (or really I) had a bunch of ideas for what I wanted to see and thus we set off on a rough track with the idea to stop at places of interest along the route that might have been unplanned. Leaving home we headed east, towards Suwalki and The Wigierski National Park. We’d have a bit of a morning walk and lunch before heading across the border into Lithuania. The park has many hiking, walking and mountain bike tracks and was pleasant to stretch the legs in.
After stopping to get some bread and basics we continued to a viewing tower – a cool structure- but with the country being pretty flat -not too much to see. As it got alter in the day we started looking out for a place to stay and ended up in a basic, private camping area at a lake front near Metelių regioninis parkas. A park that surrounds 3 lakes. After setting up camp and cooking up some dinner we went for a dip in the lake – pretty chilly- and hid in the tent with mosquitoes in full attack!
