The following morning once fed and packed we headed towards the capital- but with a planned longer stop in Trakai- a medieval residence for Grand Dukes of past. It is conveniently located on a island on a lake- so it is rather surreal and fairytale looking.
The castle was rather ornate- as they often are- and had many types of displays. Oddly- they start with modern art rather than the history etc. I think all of us visitors were thrown by this judging by the looks on our faces 😊. We were lucky enough to have a band practicing for a show and enjoyed some of their music too.
We stayed in a small motel/ BnB type of accommodation just outside of the town centre as we knew we would be at Trakai for a few hours. The next morning he went out for a run while I went around taking way too many photos of the colourful wooden country architecture in the town.
