Nida. Neringa. Lithuania. The curonian spit

Once upon a time... heh, No, It was in august 2005 when I was spending my summer at my lithuanian family. 2 happy dogs and 5 happy people left Vilnius and went to Nida (Neringa).
The people, but the driver (my father) were sleeping after hard disco night. :) The dogs enjoyed the trip like this...

When we arrived to the Klaipeda (big lithuanian port) we took the ferry to arrive to Neringa.
The view of Klaipeda and The curonian spit.

We left ferry and found ourseves in a wonderland of snowhite dunes and dark emerald pine forest.

In Nida we found cheap hotel, rented to bycycles for all of us and went to the center of the village.

On the main street of Nida beside the sea there are a lot of cheap restaurants where you will find nice dishes of meat, potatoes and mashrooms. And good beer! :)

With our full stomach we continue enjoying the beauty of the baltic nature, that you could see here.
The weather like always wasn't nice to us. Lithunia is a very rainy country. But the rain gave this sweet sence of melancholy to our mood... I just wanted to seat on the dune and listen A-ha or Coldplay...

The Dune Of Parnidis

The Dune of Parnidis is a favorite place of the holidaymakers’ visits. The dune is half planted and half drifted. On the southwest slope of the Dune of Parnidis a memorial cross for the sculptor R.Daugintis is standing, and on the top of the dune in spring of 1995, while celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Restoration of Independence, the Solar Clock – calendar was constructed. From the Dune of Parnidis you can enjoy the variety of the spit’s landscape. In the direction to the south, a range of XVIII century human-provoked “migrating dunes” greets by blinding one with light and shadows, in the direction of the north there is a 19th century human-planted green carpet of hill-pines of the Great Duneridge.
