Most Inspirational Moment
The beach at Altja in Lahemaa National Park - so peaceful and such beautiful colours. Maybe not inspirational, but certainly memorable Plokstine Cold War Museum and the KGB museum in Vilnius.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We were so lucky to have Andrius as our group leader. He was well organised, efficient, enthusiastic, but also empathetic, sensitive and with a very sharp wit and good sense of humour. It can't be easy to share life experiences which have the potential to be uncomfortable, but Andrius was willing to do so, and I for one, feel that I have come home with a much greater understanding of some events which happened during my lifetime and I am now better placed to share this with my own children. Andrius was also very good at spotting a suitable restaurant for some sociable group meals.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Book this trip - you won't regret it. Don't worry about getting bogged down on the sand dunes on the Curonian Spit (I was) - the footpath is a boardwalk to prevent visitors from causing erosion by walking all over the fragile dunes.
