​I never thought I would ​ever ​visit Lithuania​,​ but ​I ​was excited that it was a stop on Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of The Sea’s. Packing for this Baltic cruise was a little difficult. While it is the beginning of summer back in New York​,​ I wanted to pack all of my summer clothing​. But the average summer weather in June in Lithuania is about 68 degrees,​ which means it’s still a little on the cold side. In the summer months of June, July and August where it is their​ warmer months, although there can be heavy rains, it can still be chilly some days. It is key to wear layers to adjust to the temperatures. Make sure to pack a raincoat and umbrella just in case as they are known to have ​a lot​ of rain.

Where we ate:

Katpedele

This traditional Lithuanian restaurant is definitely worth the stop. We sat in a enclosed patio since it was a chilly day. They offered local beer and traditional food​,​ which was a ton of potatoes! The menu was ​broken down into​ 3 sections based on history. There was an ancient grain​,​ which had old school traditional food. From the first section​,​ we tried the blueberry dumplings which were very good and worth trying​;​ ​​something you wouldn’t think to combine but it taste​d​ great. The potato pancakes with bacon were one of my favorites​!​
