Hannah, this is an excellent intro to the Baltics – really well done. You not only captured the essence of each country, but also the spirit and demeanor of the people. When we visited, the citizens were still reveling in their new-found freedom. Today, not so much. Excellent post. ~Terri

[…] The Great War Museum is just outside of the centre, but easily walkable. It tells the story of Lithuania during war-time from pre-historic to modern times. There are galleries on Lithuanian wars with Russia as early as the 1600s, and then through to WW1 and WW2. It’s really interesting, and the highlight was an exhibition on the current situation in Ukraine. The Museum set up the exhibit years ago in relation to Russia’s activity in East Ukraine, and then recently expanded it following current events. You can read a bit more about the impact of the current political climate on the region in my post HERE. […]

In reply to wetanddustyroads.

Thanks for catching up on all my posts Corna. The Baltics are absolutely amazing and I’m so glad to have been to be able to learn more about the region. You’re so right about them being clean and proud, and I agree they have been through so much! Lots more posts on the Baltics will be incoming over the following weeks and months 🙂

By just looking at the different type of architecture, I can understand that a visit to The Baltics must be a wonderful experience (btw, great picture of the Estonian National Park). I loved it when you mentioned how clean the three countries are – it must say something about being a proud and respectful nation. Of course one have to taste the local food (but cocktails are important too 😉). Thank you for the broad history about these three countries – they all came a long and difficult way through different wars to where they are today – for which we must praise them. I’m definitely looking forward to read more about your visit and experiences in The Baltics.
