We decided we wanted to see the
bicycle museum in town, so we slept in because it didn't open until 10am. We went to a sidewalk Cafe fir breakfast - pizza, macaroons, a nut bar, and coffee for $5.47.
The bicycle museum has a lot of interesting bicycles.
We finally got the road around 11am.
We took a snack break at a bus stop.
We stopped to visit the
Monastery in Tytuvenai built in 1614 (not much info on Wikipedia).
The next stop down the road was Siluva Lithuania to see the
Basilica.
Between Siluva and Raseniai, we saw many places with a display of Crosses. We finally had to quit taking pictures so we could get to our destination.
We got to Kalida B&B around 530pm.
It was a self check-in. It took a few minutes to find the room and to find a way in without steps. The room was $63. As we were walking out to get pizza from the place we saw as we came in, we met the owner. She said she didn't have breakfast for us because we reserved the room so late. The pizza was delicious. The pizza place is a food trailer with a wood burning oven owned by an Italian. And yes, those are dill pickles on it (along with ham, red jalapeños, mushrooms and cheese)!
She must have felt sorry for us as she knocked on our door later and offered to make us breakfast for $10 each.
Today was scheduled as a rest day, which we really didn't need since we just had one on Sunday. So we quickly found a place to stay in Raseniai in order to cut tomorrow's 75 mile day into two manageable days!
