After a relatively uneventful (though Megan wouldn't necessarily agree as her checked luggage was a wee bit too heavy - Darn where is that scale??) train ride and flight we arrived in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania. We were met by the Rotary Club members led by Simonas Petrulis and a bus was waiting to take us to our first city - Druskininkai. It took about an hour and a half to get there. We discovered that this city was established as a spa area many years ago due to the mineral water found there. It was believed to have medicinal powers and thus was sought after by many european people. We enjoyed a delicious meal of beef or fish and the great company of our Rotary Club hosts.
We were then treated to a visit to the indoor water park and spa located there. It is an amazing multi-level complex of pools, slides, tubes, wave pools, steam rooms, saunas, spas, etc, etc, etc. A true aqua playground for kids and adults alike. A year-round ski area is in the process of being built so this is fast becoming a major resort for all of Europe. We certainly enjoyed our time there!
