There are countless city destinations all over Europe, and it feels like we have visited loads this year – and to my surprise, one that I loved more than most has been Gdansk. “Where?” my colleague asked, before promptly booking a flight to join us on the trip. It’s in Poland, by the way. This …
I’ve just returned from a spontaneous trip to Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania. Why Kaunas? Quite simply, a) because there were cheap flights, b) they worked for a long weekend for which I had one day’s holiday left to take at work, and c) I’ve never been to Lithuania before!
