Beautiful Druskininkai

Thanks to advice from Litlocal on an earlier post, my friend and I took a bus to Druskininkai and then rented bicycles to ride to Grutas Park.  It was a warm, sunny day — just perfect for a bike ride through the forest and around lakes.  I really liked Druskininkai.  It is a spa resort town and had a quiet and relaxed feeling to it.  Plus the countryside around it is beautiful.  I hope to be able to go for a long weekend sometime to take walks and get spa treatments.   In the meantime, I am glad that was able to spend one day there this trip.

We rode through the forest...

through a village...

and took a rest break by this lake...

where this swan swam up for a visit.
