Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs

Today – our last day in the Baltic DLC, just travelling along ProMods’ Curonian Spit to Klaipeda in Lithuania.
After Rybachii we began catching glimpses of the nearby Baltic Sea through the trees.
The Russian-Lithuanian border lies ahead.
Just about to enter Lithuania.
Now we can see the Curonian Lagoon to the east. It’s a freshwater lagoon, and like the Spit, is named after a long-vanished Baltic tribe.
Dangerous situation. The bus let me through. When faced with a Bear, the Bull backed down. Looks like another bad day for the markets.
The old PM Curonian Spit was pretty epic. Let’s see how it is with the new edition. We can see Klaipeda now – awesome.
Juodkrante, yep, that’s right. The name of that nice settlement on the Spit. And they’ve rebuilt it. Looks great.
Approaching the ferry port of Smiltyne, which is - I guess - a suburb of Klaipeda.
That’s our ride.
Ready to go, parked worryingly close to the edge of the ferry.
Sigh, swoon... pray be gentle with me, Mr Ferryman. I'm carrying 20 tons of Gummy Bears.
Took some views of Klaipeda while we were waiting to leave.
CUT-SCENE!!! Wheee!
Superb, loved the crossing.
After heading back across the water to Smiltyne and then back again to Klaipeda just for fun, we paused to take some final shots of the port.
Yes, yes, we’ll deliver those Gummy Bears soon.
And that’s it. It’s been a great tour of the region, thanks for checking it out! Now it’s time to say goodbye to Anni, and head over the big pond once again to ATSland. The next tour is Utah.
