KGB and cakes

In the name of research, sub-zero temperatures of minus 10C were endured by the Travel and Tourism National Diploma Year 1 group.
That was the only down side when we visited Vilnius in Lithuania. We were out in Lithuania investigating tourism development in this evolving country, which is currently a case study in college coursework.
After settling in to our 3 star hotel we went exploring the sites.
We ate a traditional Lithuanian meal which consisted of Potato, Pork and Pancakes.

The next day we went on a sightseeing tour of the city and we were informed of the history and we managed to gather together many facts needed for the unit assignment.
We also got to visit the KGB museum which told the history of this former Russian state.

Some of us managed to get some shopping in as well. For 5 Litas to the Pound we made up the following list:
Soup 3,90
Chicken breast, chanterelle suace, carrot and cabbage salad 13,50
Cake of the day 4,50
Fresh made juice 5,00
Cocktails 8,50 - 10,50
Glass of wine 4,90
Pint of beer 5 - 6
(that's a quid!!!)
