Waking up was easier than anticipated, although dragging myself out to breakfast was interesting. We hung out with Floh's friend for this, but I was falling asleep on the couch so I wasn't contributing much to the conversation. We caught a bus to a spot to hitchhike, and got a ride to Kaunas pretty quickly.
Here in Kaunas we visited another of Floh's friends for lunch. We went out for pizza, and I realized I'd left my phone in the car of the last guy! Shit! Well we caught another bus to another spot, but then the guy called Floh and came and dropped off my phone for me! That was so nice of him!
With all the visiting and my phone loss experience, it was getting late. We caught a ride into Poland, and he bought us McDonalds :) We were now in another spot and it was just getting dark. Within ten minutes a truck stopped for us though, so we were on our way again! Things were going very well!
Unfortunately this is where things went wrong. We both fell asleep and missed where we were going to get out. This truck was on it's way to Warsaw, so we just stayed on and were dropped about an hour outside the city in some suburban town.
Nothing was open for food but we were hungry. We walked until we found a bus stop, and we had to wait there for an hour or something to catch a bus into the city. I was so tired I fell asleep on the bus! We arrived at the central station in Warsaw, and checked when the next train into Berlin was. It was in the morning. We had a night to spend in the train station. woohoo.

The Vilnius Partying Continues :)
I slept in, but it was refreshing. It was nice to sleep indoors in the warmth! We ate a yummy breakfast with Sandra, and went to meet Adam in the city center.
The city is gorgeous! We walked and eventually met up with Adam at this hostel.
By the time we were in the city it was too late to hitch out (plus I don't think either of us were in the mood due to previous alcohol consumption), so instead Floh and Adam went online and organized a CS meeting for the evening.
Three hours of hanging out on internets, talking to hostel people, eating food, and drinking wine later, we went out. Somehow with only three hours everyone seemed to see this message and the meeting ended up being big!
Floh and I found a host in the city center this time, while Adam continued to party it up :) It was going to have to be hitchhiking early tomorrow, so the morning was not going to be fun.

Partying in Vilnius
I awoke to Bob Marley and sunshine! Everyone was packing up to leave.
Thomas was going to stop in Poland on the way back, which was the plan originally, but he wasn't sure where in Poland or for how long... so we opted on finding a new way back. Thomas ended up with a full car going back anyhow so I am happy he got more help with petrol :)
I had the sleeping bag still, and Floh had a big tent so we were set for anything. There was a baptism/going away party in Riga that Adam, Floh, and I were going to attempt at attending but we had to get into Vilnius to take a bus.
We all got rides into the city from people leaving with extra space :)
Floh and I found Adam at this cute patio area of a restaurant. Time slipped by though, so after eating and going for a beer we had to rush to the bus station to see when the next bus left. We had missed it by ten minutes or something, and the next one wasn't until late. There was no way we were going to make it, so we opted for the camping afterparty/birthday party at a bar. We would then have to find someone to host us!
This was also my last day of antibiotics. I was supposed to take my last one that night but I had lost the stupid pill from it coming out of it's bubble thing! I was slightly concerned at first, but I haven't had any problems here a month later so it must be gone :)
I took advantage of my new ability to drink again, and partied at the bar. We ordered pizza there, and Sandra offered to host us. Done and done.
The next day we were going to try and hitchhike back, but this time I was hitching prepared.
