Road trip and camping in Lithuania Day 2: Kaunas Lagoon and Rumšiškės Museum
Our second day of visiting Lithuania started after the electronic music festival we attended. As we were still recovering a bit, it was a short day, with just a few stops. Also the weather was not the ideal one, with clouds and a bit of rain, considering that what we had planned for this day…
