Another great thing to do, is going to the mini museum full of tales from Lithuania's history, or if that's not your cup of tea, you could go exploring in the colossal plants and palm trees that are located round the edges of each corner on t

This is my first blog so lets make it a good one! travelablog, to me, is quite a big thing as I am only 10 years of age. I will write about my travels around the world and my personal highlights.

I will be leaving again soon so I will fill you in with what happened. Last year when I went, my TOP highlight was going to the Dolphinarium. Best thing that ever happened to me!!! At the Dolphinarium, as you can guess, have dolphins.
