@EdH I would have liked to see the border crossing (a bit like standing at the gates of Mordor, right?), but that’s not possible because the whole area is a restricted zone.

@Daniel-San You should definitely do it. The Spit—and indeed the entire Baltic region—is stunningly beautiful and very comfortable and safe to travel through. You could take the ferry from Kiel to Klaipėda (which is the route we’re currently taking in the opposite direction). From there, it’s easy to head up to Tallinn, for example, and then take a ferry to Sweden for the return leg. Ideally, you’d do it in a camper, but it works just as well with a car, a tent, and kids.

A few pictures from my short walk today on the Curonian Spit.

Here, you wouldn't want to go any further—unless you're looking to be swapped for a Tiergarten murderer or someone of that ilk.

It’s not all sand; there are also many forest areas.

@endo
is it possible to swim there ? the beach looks stunning

[goosehd]

I’m trying to translate with no luck…

Although, I know it’s not good…

[EdH]

@goosehd Something about an "armoured nature reserve zone".

[goosehd]

@EdH landmines? Curious what “armoured” means…

[EdH]

@goosehd Dunno. I was going off Google Translate pointed at the screen. I doubt it's mined though, esp. on the Latvian side, as it's a nature reserve. Nothing about mines on the Wikipedia pages for the spit either.

It's declared as a nature reserve and I don't think there are mines. But they certainly don't want you to go there. The Lithuanians, the Russians are still 2 km away.

We’ve arrived home safely. It was another wonderful trip. We are grateful for the many experiences and for getting back safe and sound. But after one trip comes the next. Thanks for following along!

The bed in the bus is so good that I didn't miss the one at home. It has a super comfortable mattress (2x2m) and cozy bedding and pillows.

If there was one thing I looked forward to back home, it was actually my work. Looking back now, however, I do miss sleeping in on the bus.
