Lithuanian seaside in winter (minus the the snow)

A seagull perched on the railing of a ferry, with a harbor and a cloudy sky in the background.

We are back from Lithuania and I could not wait to share the highlights with you. My favourite place in the world still lies on the Lithuanian seaside, in Kuršių Nerija National Park. However this time I was hoping for snow. Why? Because snow on the seaside looks unusual and I like unusual things! Anyway, maybe I will catch the snow next year?
Getting to any destination begins with a journey and ours started with a ferry. I love how there is no other way to get to the other side than the ferry (unless you travel via a Russian enclave)! You basically get transferred to the other side while sitting in your own car. How amazing is that!

Walking through the forest to get to the sandy beach feels fairytale like. However I found these squirrel trail signs hilarious :-D.

And who thought we could find ready decorated Christmas tree in the middle of the forest?

Trying to make sand angels (I somehow think snow angels are better).

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas and getting ready for 2015 😉
