Not That desperate

Sitting on the bus we find ourselves playing interesting games to pass the time. It was impossible to sleep on the coach and remember getting extremely irritated watching the early hours of the morning pass by me on the digital clock at the front of the coach. I looked over and Ali was curled up in ball fast a sleep. It's just not fair. She's so petite and can fit into just about any space quite comfortably, close her eyes and sleep. If I could have detached my legs for the entire journey I would have.

We reached the Lithuanian border and a mean looking man in a uniform comes on board. Not only does he check my passport but keeps it and takes them with him off the coach. We are kept waiting for 20 minutes while they check the vehicle for hidden people. Not sure why, but this whole procedure made me very nervous. Once reunited with our passports we were free to drive through. Before leaving however, we stop just past the border so that people could use the toilets if needed. I decide to go thinking that it would be better than the toilet on the bus, especially taking into consideration the type of visit I was requiring. I was wrong! The toilet inside the small building consisted of a hole in the ground bearing metal plates indicating exactly where to place your feet. It wasn't long before I decided that my needs weren't that urgent and returned to the coach.

After reading a little bit about the Baltic states I'm thinking that I would like to spend more time here in the future. I like it here because it's different and unfamiliar. The public toilets could be vastly improved however.
