On the bus

Overnight bus is tiring, day time bus is boring, flight is expensive ..... Too much complaint I know. I am totally bored on this 4-hour journey from Vilnius to Riga today. Despite my poor sleep last night, I have no invention for a nap. The man sits next to me looks young and kind of professional but I reckon he doesn't speak much English. The rest of passengers are mostly old people. The whole bus is so dull and dead. 

Looking out my window, Europe is still very green despite rapid modern development after Soviet retreat in 1989. Fresh air is still available even in the city centres. Lives here wouldn't be very interesting but would be a health one. 

Today is quite cloudy and the clouds are floating in the rather low sky that makes you feel like you can almost touch them. Believe or not, I am quite sure the sky in Europe is lower than most places in the world. 

Somehow I am not quite sure why I am on the way to Riga now. I know nothing about this place and nothing there would seem interest me. But I cannot stop here and go back. And go back to where? Perpetual travelling seems the only way can go. The only way!? If there is a way!?
