From Palanga we went to the Old Town Klaipeda which was nearby where we docked. There was not much to see. haha!! In every stop we made sure we tried the local food. So we tried Lithuanian food. This was recommended by the tour guide. In general, i don’t know if we should listen to tour guides when it comes to food! haha!! That comment is based on the places we went to this trip which were recommended by tour guides 🙂 Lithuanian specialties – potato and pork – so you will see a lot of those in the dishes that we ordered #Lithuania #Klaipeda#Regent25 #regentsevenseasexplorer#h2hssexplorer2017 #h2hbacon#h2hpotato Layered Herring This was among the few that was good haha!!

Sculpture “Juodasis Vaiduoklis” (“The Black Ghost”)
If you have not heard yet about the mystical ghost, which was mentioned in and old manuscript – you will now. If you have not seen the horrendous, grotesque figure yet – you will.
Near the castle remains, just past the swing bridge, there is a bronze sculpture of a ghostly silhouette that looks like it is just stepping out of the water via the shore line. 2.4 metres in height, the sculpture holds its own secret – everyone who comes near the frightful sculpture will be greeted by it.
According to one legend, in 1595, one of Klaip?da Castle guards, Hans von Heidi, saw a ghost. The mystical visitor warned the guard that the city’s supplies of grain and timber may be running out, and with that, it vanished just as it had appeared.( http://www.klaipedainfo.lt/en/sightseeing-places/sculpture-juodasis-vaiduoklis-the-black-ghost/) #Klaipeda #Lithuania#Regent25 #regentsevenseasexplorer#h2hssexplorer2017 #h2hmusic #h2hart Beautiful 🙂
