Europas Parkas: The Centre of Europe?


It is the 27th March and finally, the snow is melting at last!!! In town, people are beginning to taek off their woolly hats and gloves. Despite the melting snow, more flurries of fresh snow dropped to top it up.
I went to Europas Parkas at the weekend, which is very close to the geographical centre of Europe. However, I thought it was a total rip-off and a waste of time. At 18 Litas, it is really expensive to see a few half-decent scultures which is supposed to be art. The highlight is Gintaras Karosas' 'sculpture' of 6,000 old TV sets. Apparently, this is the largest sculpture of old TV sets in Europe!!!
That said, the bus ride is really nice as you travel through winding roads in the countryside. To get there, catch the infrequent No.92 bus from the New York club. You can get to the NY Club by catching the 53 bus to Zalgirio stop. For more info, check out the tourist info bureau.
