A rather odd map of Lithuania on the wall at the Klaipeda inter-city bus terminal. Ostensibly, I guess it depicts the coach network, or even just the nation’s main highways, but it does seem odd to have a city – Alytus – marked on the map when there’s no apparent way to get there.

There’s also a couple of interesting choices made for international destinations: Tallinn and Riga (the other Baltic state capitals) are fair enough, as is Kaliningrad in the Russian exclave of Kaliningad Oblast… but Frankfurt and Freiburg im Breisgau? Freiburg is almost 2,000km by road from Klaipeda – that’s one heck of a road trip! Berlin? Never heard of it.

But at least the map is shiny. And it has a cool coat of arms on it, too.
