Day 18 - Palanga to Klaipeda

This was scheduled as a bit of a rest day, but Palanga was so nice I decided to stay there meaning a 25km cruise down the coast was on the cards.

The route takes one of the best kept cycle paths so far through the woods and plenty of people were going in the opposite direction. The path suddenly turns into a rather crowded pavement in the city, but I wasn't planning to push hard anyway.

Klaipeda is a bit of a nothing town except the gateway to the Curonian Spit. There is a tiny cobbled old town with one square sms a bunch of Chinese restaurants. The park on the way to the hostel is also quite scenic supposedly containing 120 sculptures.

In the evening I had a beer and a game of table football with a lad from the hostel called Darren. They seem to love the game in the Baltics, and we were the only ones in the small rock bar, which seemed strange for a Friday. A bit of a sleepy town, really.
