Vacation plans were ruined by quarantine
“Although I am from a neighboring country, unfortunately I am on vacation in Palanga for the first time,” Latvian Andris begins the conversation with apologies.
The man explains that this year’s vacation plan looked different: “My wife, my children and my three grandchildren promised to go on vacation to Spain. We like the slow pace of life in that country, we like to walk with the people of the country who are not in a hurry. ”
“No matter how sad, the virus that rocked the world this year also stopped our family’s plans: The trip was canceled, so we started thinking about where we were going. We didn’t want to stay in Latvia, and Lithuania turned out to be a tempting option.” remembers Andris.
To Palanga: look for the roots of your origin
The man explains that it was not only the plans interrupted by the virus that led him to come to Palanga: “You see, my grandparents, with whom I had no close relationship, lived in Palanga. My mother said they were located on Žvejų Street, but as a child, I never visited them. But as the years go by, I start to wonder what my background is, what my relatives are. It is good for me to know that I have at least one drop of Lithuanian blood. “
Summer in Palanga
The 63-year-old man adds that when he was a child, he traveled little with his parents. “I spent my whole life in Liepaja. I was born, raised and started a family there. We travel very little with my parents, we didn’t even come to Lithuania together. For me, Lithuania is like an undiscovered country, which I feel I have to explore and examine “Andris says.
Lithuanian and Latvian resorts
A Latvian tourist realizes that Latvian coastal resorts do not shrink tourists’ wallets as much as Lithuanian ones.
Summer in Palanga
“I can tell a story that will demonstrate the difference between the prices in the coastal cities of Lithuania and Latvia. Recently, my wife and two other family friends had lunch in Jūrmala, almost on the seashore. We think that just because of the image we did not Counted, we would put a lot of error. But what do you think! We paid € 44 for a lunch for four that included steaks and desserts, and that is the total. In Lithuania, in my observation, only two people could have lunch for that amount, and lunch wouldn’t necessarily be the busiest, “thinks the man.
Interviewer Andris realizes that even coffee is cheaper in Latvia. “After sitting in the coastal cities of Lithuania, you can prepare to have a drink for 2-3 euros. In Jūrmala, Latvia, coffee is available for 1.5 euros. “
Lithuanian prices and Latvian wild beaches
“I think that not everything that is cheaper is better in itself.” No, definitely not. In Lithuania, and more precisely in Palanga, I am satisfied with the quality that I get after spending the mentioned amounts of money ”, Andris does not complain about Lithuanian prices.
The man says: “It is cheaper in Latvia, but Latvia is well known to us, we wanted this new. It is true that our family has tried both a traditional seaside holiday, when booking a hotel, and living on Latvia’s wild beaches. “
“Latvian wild beach vacations cost pennies compared to resorts. The last time we took this type of vacation with my wife was 6 years ago. This time we spent the most money on food, but the amount spent was not it was close to what tourists pay for spending the night in luxury hotels or having lunch in a fancy restaurant, ”Andris recalls a vacation on Latvia’s wild beaches.
Palanga and Šventoji, like day and night
“Before going to Lithuania, my family and I were interested in the coastal towns near Palanga. We have decided that we will also visit the Saint, ”said the Latvian tourist.
“Unfortunately, the visit to Šventoji caused us very unpleasant feelings,” Andris recalls the story of the battles that had just begun.
According to the interlocutor, in the afternoon he and his son-in-law went for a walk to Santo, where there were many tourists that night.
“My daughter’s husband, Kaspars, decided to go to a town near Palanga. There were a lot of people there on Saturday night, they all walked slowly, not in a hurry. There were two men in the opposite direction, apparently hoarse, who were about 40 years. One of the men carried my son-in-law, but Kaspar apologized for the collision, we wanted to move on. Unfortunately, the men did not like this meeting of ours, “recalls Andris.
According to the tourist, the Lithuanians dissatisfied with the incident approached Andris and Kaspars, they began to speak in an aggressive tone in their mother tongue, the Lithuanian: Kaspars does not speak Russian, I took over the conversation. The men suggested that we go further and resolve the conflict with our fists. Fortunately, it was not necessary to fight, we managed to stand out as beautiful, “says Andris, who is not going to return to Šventoji.
According to a Latvian resident, such collisions did not occur in Palanga: “In my opinion, Palanga and Šventoji, although the nearby resorts, are significantly different. Palanga looks like a modern complex that offers quality rest, where both people are friendly and the entertainment offered to tourists is incredible. “
Andris adds that he really likes vacations in Palanga, so he will definitely be back next year.
