Changes

Quite far away from [[Vilnius]] there is a huge ''hypermarket'' next to the highway with a free bus to the centrecenter.

*The best way to get to [[Poland]] is to take mini bus 105 from the train station and to get off right after Garliava when you will see a gas petrol station. The HH conditions are fantastic: there is plenty of space for cars to stop in front of that gas petrol station and cars are not driving that fast. You might want to have a PL sign in hand. You can ask your driver to let you off right at border. If you walk back towards Lithuania from the border and make a left, you will get to a very large parking where loads of trucks are parked there. You may be able to get a ride to close to any country in Western Europe.

*Alternatively get a bus from the centre center to IX Fortas (I think its bus 23 or 35 buses), this is the main road where the motorway to Vilnius joins up with the E67 (Via Baltica north and south) - with a PL sign you should easily get a lift from a truck to the border (or further). Be aware that the border is now virtually non-existant, except for an occasional random check, so try to get a ride to at least [[Suwalki]] or [[Augustow]].

*Heading for [[Latvia]] you want to get on the [[Klaipeda]] road (the A1) and then turn onto the via Baltica (the A8). You can accept rides going to the split (20km) and then hitch past the split. From the split it should not take you more than 10min to get a ride. Whatever you do, try not to get dropped off on the [[Panevezis]] ring. [[Garthelgard]] got stuck there for more than 4 hours. There is a great gas petrol station past the [[Panevezis]] ring and after the roads merge or a lot of space on the side of the road.
