Vilnius

Rain Rain Rain.

It pissed it down. We tried to see as much of the city as we could but realistically it was to wet. The fact that its an old city made it worse because all the shambles style buildings find ingenious ways to convert normal rain water into something reminisant of a log flume.

We braved a walk to this part of town called Uzpais (or something) It was surposed to be an independant artists colony. I expected a rerunof the Mad Max episode in Warsaw. Non came. There was a supermarket and a statue. To be honest if you hadn't told me it was a 'crazy' hippy paradise I never would have noticed.

Helen salvaged the day by discovering that out in the suburbs there was a massive water part. As we were already wet this made a lot of sense to us.

The park was pretty cool it had slides and jacuzzi, waves machines etc. All themed around the south sea islands in an every so slightly racist way. Good fun was had by all.

On the way we tried to go to the Cinema in a building called the Akropolis. Basically it was a masiive shopping centre with oppressive lighting and an American accent. It was far more effective as an ubermall then anything we've ever tried to create in Hull. The film wasn't out. We marvelled at some more capitalism then went home.
