After Belarus Lithuania was a bit of a rest time. The main highlight was the 'Hill of Crosses' which looks like a good place for a heavy metal video. Back in the day the Lithuanians viewed a cross as a sword being planted in the ground which is a sign of peace. Then along came religion in this area and the views of the cross kinda changed. There are over 40,000 crosses on the hill now dedicated to someone that has died. Normally everyone that visits the site throws a cross in but we had no-one to make one for really so we just threw coins in the well...
