Midsummers day in High Tatry

or
There is always a rainbow afterwards

Sun was setting down over the mountain and water was running still down the walls..
Tatry is a mini copy of mountains.. Suitable for any long weekend as well as for training during the winter.. A midsummers day is also OK.. On snow, with crampons, and exercises "how to brake sliding down the ice slope".. Wet! Very wet!! Nevertheless, worth to try.. =)

Nice trip.. Nice company.. Nice "chatas"..
Good food.. Good weather.. Good training..

We should come back here in winter.. For ice walls at least..

Business trip

or
Cold summer in Northern provinces of Lithuania

For me business trip is an opportunity to visit colleagues, change the environment, and satisfy the demand of traveling for a while. The business itself was not mentioned in this description, because it's not the issue in this blog.

It was +25 in Vilnius, barely +18 in Tallinn and light rain in Riga.. Planes were shaking, and landing provided a small portion of adrenalin everytime.. Nevertheless, we managed to finish business early, enjoy a nice evening on the roof of hotel with strong wind, two blankets, and light mojito.. It's nice, but getting more expensive than the daily allowance a company pays for the business trips.
