Viva long weekends and Lithuanian laws

or
Climbing in Fränkische Schweiz (Frankenjura)

In Lithuania we have a law, that if a national fest appears on a weekend, there is an extra day-off the next day after it. It also applies to the fest that are always on Sunday, e.g., Mom's day, Easter... :) Due to this we had a 5 day weekend:
- 1'405 km to the "dream land"
- 3.5 days of climbing in Frankenjura (DE)
- 761 km to red-point the routes left from the last time
- 0.5 day climbing in Jura (PL)
- 802 km back home

Nice drive on the back seat - I have no driving licence yet. Good rocks with the 1st pit in 4-8 meters, slightly overhanging, sometimes a little bit polished, hidden in the forest or awesome peaks with perfect panorama, huge boulders with many problems, etc. Other advantages? Camping is cheap (5€/night), shower is hot for 1€, river Trubach is cold and small, sleeping time starts 11pm and there is a guy with a dog adn a torch, who reminds you this in case you're singing too loud...

Resume: if you do not remember the your credit card pin, door code, or what you did before you left for job, you had a gooooood vacation ;)

Maži netikėtumai

arba
kai važiuoja stogas

Ilgą laiką nebūnant namie nutinka įvairių stebuklų. Vienas iš jų šįvakar privertė mane nusišypsoti ir iš esmės pakeitė nuotaiką. Atsidariusi šaldymo kamerą prikrapščiau visą kibirą sniego, iš kurio suformavusi nežinomą skaičių sniego gniūžčių išsvaidžiau pro 5-to aukšto balkoną. Tuo tarpu apačioje sėdintys gėrė alų. Gegužė.
