Our desire to camp on the airfield caused some consternation in Kaunas. It's not that it's never done, it just isn't done often. Luckily this meant a flurry of communication between that the tower and the aeroclub ending with us comfortably ensconced in the aeroclub's bunkroom, too kind.
Kaunas is a nice airfield and a comfortable bike ride into a pretty little town, well worth a stop. The next day the weather was a bit damp and we were feeling a bit deflated after a somewhat stressful and noisy month in budget hotels across the Baltic and had been contemplating packing up and going West where things are simple. Luckily at that point Justinus, a TV producer arrived to fly back to Vilnius and said that it was impossible for us to visit his country without seeing Vilnius. He most kindly lent us his car and house as he was off on holidays to Egypt.
