matcrazy1 Says: From each point of Lazdijai I could easy see high structure: cement, thick column topped by a kind of disc shape structure like on my picture. It was not air traffic control tower (no airports there) but water tower. It provided water pressure by positioning a large...
Restoranas: If you are hungry...
matcrazy1 Says: Excuse, I wasn't hungry, so I didn't eat there. But I took a look at their menu. Despite it was the only restaurant I found in Lazdijai the prices were low. I would spend 10.00 - 20.00 Lt (€ 3.01 - 6.02; US$3.62 - 7.26; 14.00 - 28.00 Polish zl) per person for two course...
matcrazy1 Says: I found driving in the area around Lazdijai quite easy. Traffic was light there, forget about any traffic jams :-). There were a lot of place to park a car in Lazdijai (free!). It seems that locals either didn't have cars or they rarely used them. Well, the price of...
matcrazy1 Says: This sign, on my picture, was put on one side of my parking lot. "Reservuota" means reserved in Lithuania. That sign below meant business days. So, do not park there on business days (Mon - Fri) unless you have special permission.
SAULUTE: For budget travellers
matcrazy1 Says: This was small Lithuanian chain grocery where quite many locals were doing shopping at midday of business day. No wonder, the prices there were mostly low. Credit/debit cards were accepted (at least of Visa system). Food and drinks - quite good choice. Look for local dark...
Cukrainis ir Ko: My recommendation
matcrazy1 Says: We were looking at a few cakes and fruit pies at this small cake shop and finally we decided to choose this one on my picture. The cake on my picture. It was called "Pyragas varskis sai nesis" ??? or somewhat similar in Lithuanian. It was delicious pie with raisins and...
Cukrainis ir Ko: Good strawberry pie :-)
matcrazy1 Says: This was small, local cake shop popular among locals, I think, as there were a few costumers during a few minutes we were there. Or maybe it was the only one cake shop in Lazdijai? We bought my favourite kind of cake/pie: covered by jelly with strawberies (Pyragai...
Cukrainis ir Ko: Cakes and fruit pies
matcrazy1 Says: My wife Urszula (matcrazy0) used to buy and taste some local cakes in each country we visit :-). So, we did it in Lithuania, in small cake shop, just in Lazdijai.The entrance wasn't well signed: look for window with cakes displayed right to the entrance door, when you go...
Parduotuve: May I complain a little, please?
matcrazy1 Says: The choice of food in that small grocery was very limited and I coudn't find there... do you want the whole list? OK, just my top 5:- any vegetables or fruits,- Marlboro cigarettes (LM instead),- cold beer, juices, mineral water (there were but warm),- local Lithuanian honey...
matcrazy1 Says: There was tradition of baking such pyramidal cakes ("sakotis" in Lithuanian, "sekacz" in Polish) as on my picture in Lithuania and north-eastern Poland (Suwalki district). In the past they were baked mainly for wedding ceremonies. There was special celebration of cutting the...
matcrazy1 Says: I was in Lazdijai just before the election to the European Parliament (13th June 2004), the first in which Lithuanians took part just after joining European Union on 1 May 2004. No wonder that I could see many election posters in Lazdijai and other cities and towns...
matcrazy1 Says: This strange, rather ugly and first of all not renovated for years building, on my picture, should house a hotel. The advertisement on its top announced: Hotel, Viesbutis (in Lithuanian), Gostinica (in Russian). But I did find only various offices (small business) inside...
matcrazy1 Says: Generally, some drinks and food should be kept in cold places, preferrably in a fridge, right? For sure beer should be frozen to say 5 C (41 F) before drinking. Hot or warm mineral water or juices don't taste good at least in hot summer time, right? Well, in that local...
matcrazy1 Says: There was no information on Lazdijai in my travel books on Lithuania. So, I was very glad to find the tourist information office located in the Town Hall building (on the right when you enter). It was raher small information point. I saw maps and leaflets I wanted to get or...
matcrazy1 Says: Do not buy and even if... do not drink this juice on my picture. It was awful in taste red orange juice called VITAL & FIT. It was neither vital nor fit. Keep away from it. Probably the juice was stored in warm/hot temperatures for long time. All explanations on the juice...
Weather, shoes, smile... :-)))
matcrazy1 Says: For walking around Lazdijai, small, city backpack and surely bag for your camera - both water-proof esp. in summer. Comfortable walking shoes preferrably water-resistant: like good trainers or better special walking shoes (one example: Danish Ecco are very comfortable...
matcrazy1 Says: This red-brick building, on my picture, stood along a street at main town square called Nepriklausomybes aikste. It surely didn't look amazing but the paintings put on its wall and fence looked interesting.Generally the city looked ugly and nothing survived from the old...
matcrazy1 Says: There were three wooden sculptures or rather statues put on a lawn located opposite to Lazdijai parish church. This one on my picture was the highest of them. There were many, similar in style, statues put in many Lithuanian cities, towns and villages.
matcrazy1 Says: There was tourist information office (call: +370 318 51160) located in the Town Hall building (when you enter on the right). Where it was? At main town sqaure - Nepriklausomybes aikste, on the left side driving Highway 134 from Kalvarija towards Veisiejai and Druskininkai....
