There are 2 ferries in Klaipeda to
the Curonian Spit. One pedestrian only ferry and a car
ferry. The signage isn't really good. This map you'll
find, after getting totally lost, at the port.
The beaches of the Curonian Spit
are used by many people (locals and tourists) to look
for amber. But to find amber between all the
stones, one needs a good eye and patience.
Tip: Is it a stone, amber or
ship-grease? Not always easy to see! Amber does float
in salt water, but not in fresh water. Stones don't
float at all, and grease always does.
A typical village road somewhere in
Lithuania.
The Mountain of Crosses
consists of thousands of crosses in all sizes.
When I was there a wedding party came to put
up a new cross.
They are just working on a small building,
probably to charge a entrance fee soon.
