Hello world!

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. Today I will write about best things to do in Lithuania, especially the Western part. I mostly go and enjoy Lithuania because thats were my parents and their families come from. 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. There was a show that has 6 dolphins perform many tricks including:

  • Playing basket ball
  • Singing
  • Clapping
  • Painting
  • Diving 
  • Doing flips
  • Hoola-hooping (on their nose)
  • Balancing balls


So I think it is most definitely worth seeing. Also, at the end of the show, they open up a photo area where you can take a photo of you touching a dolphin and you can feel the wetness of the dolphin which made me fall in love with dolphins even more even though elephants are my top favourite animals. To have the image printed out, you have to pay, but it's "All for a good cause!"  But actually, I don't know what the money goes towards to.  There are many AMAZING things to do in Lithuania  (I mostly go to the Western part) But VERRY VERRY close to number 1 is going to Akropolis. It is probably not the place you suddenly think of but it is an immensely big shopping centre.

It is really cool! It has a bowling alley on the second floor and depending on which one you go to, there might be a virtual reality 360 place there. Also there are at least 4 different restaurants with an ice-skating rink in the middle and if your lucky, the places you are seated at any restaurant might have a view of the ice-rink.  I highly recommend  any chocolate milkshake in any restaurant because they are so good!!!

Please comment what I should think about next time I go and please don't make it to ambitious, I'm only going to be there for a week and I can't do everything.



Best wishes,
Nida LT xx

    That's great, have you visited Kretinga Winter Gardens at all? I'd like to have some reviews about whether it is worth visiting?

      Hello Milda :) I highly recommend Kretinga Winter gardens and no matter what the weather is outside, inside, is always warm and cosy. Also, it's go large plants and a few animals like parrots. So, if your interested in gardening, I think you should go.

      Hello Frellien :) Thank you :) Last time I went, the Dolphinarium had a sky cafe so I'm not sure if that was before or after restoration but I've never seen it before!

      Hey Mark! Thank you for the very nice comments but if you go to Lithuania DRIVING your motor bike, it would take 24 hours and a this time of year, it would probably be in minus temperatures. GOOD LUCK!!!!! (Ps. your picture and name did show up)

Before we start our travelablog  work, I would like to say a HUGE thank you to all the people who took their time to read my blog and thank you to those who  commented! I am soooooooo happy!!! :)  When I checked, it said that there is 114 views already on the blog I published yesterday!!!!!!!  THANK YOU and as a reward, you can pat yourself on the back. I had someone comment about if it was worth going to the Winter Gardens in Kretinga. Image copyright Image copyright   All year round, IT'S WARM (and pretty!!!) in the Winter Gardens. If it's cold outside, inside, IT'S WARM!!! It is a nice place to come in, on a chilly day and warm up. In the mean time, you could see the turtles, parrots or fish. 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

Kretinga Church

Thank you for waiting for my next blog, and as I told you in "Hello World!" , I flew to Lithuania. When I was there, we went to visit the local church, which is in Kretinga. Image Copyright Image copyright The church inside is beautiful! The altar is the largest wooden one in the whole of Lithuania, 16 meters high and 8 meters width, containing 21 smaller sculptures. The organ is the oldest dated one in Lithuania, and there are a lot of unique woodwork elements throughout the church. I think that the church is perfect for special occasions like weddings and christenings. In 1940, Soviet authorities closed the monastery, and confiscated all the valuables. The majority of the church building and the monastery were destroyed in the 1941 fire, and further damage was done during World War 2. Rebuilding and restoration work started in 1982 and still ongoing in 2018. Image copyright I think it is quite interesting seeing all the sculptures and t
