The Hill of Crosses is an amazing site near the Lithuanian town of Šiauliai. It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip, and well worth the effort of getting there. Effort? Yep! It involved taking a local bus from Riga, crossing the Latvia-->Lithuania border, to Šiauliai. Then a taxi from Šiauliai out to the Hill of Crosses and back. Our taxi driver waited for us which was nice, considering he had both our back packs in the boot of his car ! Finally a train to Klaipedia, rocking up at a youth hostel around 10 at night to take two of the last beds. It was quite a day. But like I said, definitely worth it.More photos here. More info here.
