Welcome to trai Castle we spent this morning in lithuania’s capital vilnus and now we will be exploring the castle of trai yeah the ride out of the city this morning was a lot more calm than when we rode in last night and also this morning we passed through lots of
Picturesque Villages so I was really nice a good ride to get here so come on let’s go and have a quick look around the castle we’re not planning on spending too much time here today but uh if you go inside there’s a courtyard there’s a few more buildings and there’s
A museum to see but it’s 12 each to go in and as we’re not going to be around for much longer I don’t think it’s worth it for us no the most thing we want to see is the outside so let’s go ah and take a little walk along the lake and
See the circumference of the castle yeah even if you’re not planning to go in it is a really nice area around for an hour or two you can actually walks through the middle of the castle it seems that you know just above us there’s a little Bridge which connects the two halves of
The castle but I’m not sure if this had water running through it originally it seems like it would have done otherwise I don’t really see a point no in this part you can really see the different layers of restoration work on the brick as well
Here oh yeah I think this is the at least the original bit is in the middle so it said that the Russians worked on it the Germans like and then the Soviet Union worked on it again and then it was stopped um in the second world war and
Then in the 1960s it was completed by the Lithuanian government so it’s really has had everybody’s hand in every go it He Oh That was a good stop and I think that is our last stop here in Lithuania yeah that’s right then we’re going to head south now and continue our journey back home uh I think we’re just going to head straight to the border of Poland and then we’re going to reassess
There what we’re going to do cuz we’ve got a got a few days to get back so we just need to decide where we’re going to stay each night and yeah which route we’re going to take that sounds good hopefully we’ll pass through a few more uh Lithuanian
Villages along the way but this one is is so sweet on the island yeah definitely this is probably one of the better ones isn’t it so don’t miss this little village and the castle as well so you can take off a few things all at once it’s actually quite good that it’s
So close to the capital as well so if people are flying in to visit the capital they can probably get here without any difficulties either we’re currently heading west before we drop down and head south but we’ve just gone through some national parks and I think we’ve got some more to
To come but it’s been really beautiful there’s like a Lake District area and now we’re back again through some of these small villages with the wooden houses I think this is possibly the most beautiful part of Lithuania that we’ve seen isn’t it yeah I’d agree the Forestry around here is is stunning and
The dotted lakes next to the trees are always something that are beautiful to ride near and The Villages are a great addition as well they’ve got a lot of character it’s nice because we kind of thought this would be a Motorway um to head down in towards Poland so it’s
Lovely to have this as a surprise yeah it is isn’t it and it’s great to get away from the more industrial areas and have some time in the countryside I think this is the last town before the Polish border yeah there can’t be many more or what’s this one’s
Called like Mal Mala or something like that we went past the sign before seems all right seems nice we can’t be too far from the border now right we’re heading to wara M I don’t know if we’ll make that there tonight but that’s the direction we’re
Going we only have a 10 more hours to our final destination that’s in the GPS our almost Final Destination that’s Vienna is just carry on riding for 10 hours you keep going I don’t think we’ve been able to walk after it though and just like that we’re entering
Poland yeah we already did I came up came up quicker than I thought it was there’s a lot of truck activity around here goodness me wow I guess that explains the ruts in the roads it’s not the most um pretty border is it do they all have to stop and reset
Their counter I think we saw them do that in L didn’t have to they stop at the border and then they have to reset something what they do I think that’s it that’s off in into Poland now there’s the sign Got to get past him there it
Is this is my third time in Poland but my first time riding in Poland oh yeah I think it’s my fourth fourth isn’t it yeah I think so I think so four times goodness me that’s a rot and half in it whoa all right now we’re on uh now we’re
In pole wow look at the difference in road conditions goodness me it’s all brand new wow I guess this is the road all the way to Warsaw isn’t it yeah I’m just getting ahead of these trucks how do we have to go through a I think we have to go through a
Check okay not entirely sure I think the check was just for like the trucks to make sure they had declared what they were actually bringing in sounds like it yeah look at these roads they’re fantastic it’s about halfast 7 in the evening and we are in some random polish
Town or city we’re riding through we’re heading to Warsaw tonight is where we decided to stay and we’re roughly about an hour’s ride from the city center it looks like the highway or the motorway is being completely redone in SE cuz we’ve like been on the motorway and
Then we’ve had to come off and go back on and once again we’re off the motorway now but it’s actually quite good to get off the boat away and to have a little look at some of these towns and things cuz I’ve never really ridden through
This part of Poland I don’t think you have either have you no this is my first time riding in Poland I’ve been to water before with you went on the trains and we’ve been to crack out before we flew in so it’s really nice to see how how
Things are here and the the towns have been lovely the road conditions have been impeccable in parts and then terrible in others and as I just said we’re going to be back on the highway the motorway now as you can see it looks brand spanking you as we get around
Here I don’t know if it’s a new road or if they’ve just resurface the old one completely but I’m guessing we’re going to be on here all the way to the center of wara we are just arriving in the city of Warsaw sun has just set and it’s a
Little bit hectic on the roads as everybody is I guess heading home for the evening yeah there’s nothing like riding into a city in the evening just as the sun’s gone down and it starts to get dark it’s hectic but it’s fun we haven’t been in war saw for 4
Years I think was last time we were here wasn’t it yeah it was a lot has changed since then I bet it has yeah it was quite cool seeing the city Horizon um like the skyline on the way in as well that was nice however the last time we
Came to wara it was freezing it was December oh yeah that’s right it was wasn’t it it was really cold and we um we got the train to to msk I think yes that was it so it’s going to be nice to be back in
The city even if it’s only just for one night we’re going to have a breakfast here in the morning before hitting the road it’s going to be a short stop in Warsaw but it’s better than nothing yeah of course I think we can have a few hours in the morning we hav
Got such a tight schedule tomorrow now that we found a faster way back home we should have a little bit more time here we just pulled over and and booked a hotel just on hotels.com really quickly um and we are just 6 minutes away which is perfect because we have
Been on the road quite a bit today and there’s been a lot of motorways and now it’s cobbles yeah we’ve done well today I don’t know how many kilometers we’ve done but uh just looking at the map we have covered a big chunk of distance today so that’s
Great I think we’re going through this tunnel that goes under the city wow look at that that’s cool tra or it’s tiled as well that’s new that was a noisy try I couldn’t even hear myself bring then was a first gear bra wasted got our first statue there I
Remember her do you remember that one and here comes the tra again he’s not Hing about I’m very easily LED you see one of the bike doing something and then you’re immediately influenced he’s going again not in that much of a h he’s a bit narrower than us he’s a bit is
He we are basically the width of a smart car with the panas on oh you’re going for it yeah why not get a few more I think he’s on the F700 right I should remember some of this by now I remember it it was though it was
Icy in the air we were is is this the main Square on the right uh quite no it’s missing that building I have no idea where we are I don’t think we you remember we were so cold that we got taxis everywhere because it was literally freezing as
Soon as you walked out I do remember that yeah although I don’t think we came to this part of town because there’s that main like Town Hall we spent a lot of time around that town hall I think our hotel was near there we actually took our first like couple shot for
Instagram in Warsaw ever oh you see so much more of the city than when you fly in halfast 8 on a what is it a Thursday night and it’s pretty busy oh yeah Saturday I would not want to be doing this all right we’re turning left soonish not that soon
Anything coming back to your memory not really I have forgotten everything or we didn’t come out this far I think it’s the L to be that we were only here for one night was that all was just one night it was one night yeah oh okay fair enough
Then because we got the train here from berin yep I train here from berin late train straight out to B Min yeah the next day wasn’t it we had a few hours in the morning though I think we had breakfast and we had little walk around like a a rushed
Tour yeah we did we had a lovely dinner as well in the evening we went to a sushi place oh look at that look at the city lights glow there there’s some cool colors on the city tonight isn’t there yeah got the that smell of um mixed cuisines in the
Air as you ride through yeah there are a few whiffs all right we’re nearly there 3 Minutes tram lines I find riding a little bit more aggressive in the cities is a little bit safer than like pottering around cuz everybody else knows where they’re going yeah oh taxi up the inside and there’s pedestrian cross Crossings on like the most random point we’ve booked a big skyscraper Hotel so
It we should be able to spot it oh is it a tall one is it yeah yeah it had free undercover parking didn’t it so that was the main cell for us Tonight yeah I don’t want to be leaving the bike out in any I don’t yeah it’s not here no he’s got he’s got us this far you can uh he can have a bit of safe parking for the last couple of nights if he doesn’t get taken out by a tram First wow it looks so sparkly oh my goodness goodness me I’m sure these weren’t built last time we were here it’s huge wow I feel like I’ve just rid into London or somewhere they are all new aren’t they they were not here last time I don’t think
So I think the Hilton was I do remember the Hilton yeah with like that blackass that’s our hotel wait that’s our hotel see the Tulip there the Tulip oh super going to say with the black glass and the red lines it looks a little bit like the Death Star I think I’ll sneak through here oh it’s warm as well isn’t it the air is warm the Royal this one isn’t it Royal tulip think so think it is yeah I think these might have a bell hop for you I hope so yeah yeah it must be there or if I just
Come around like the back of the hotel possibly but there’s some pretty snazzy cars this is the level of security that shadow requires yes three levels underground please that’s a nice car oh that old Porsche all 911 wa it’s mint it’s perfect oh it’s hot in here though R is off it
Is down again that’s steep a bit it oh your head is close yeah it not be too close right where’s the lift that way it says the hotel that way yeah we want to park by the lift though don’t we yeah but it’s still like says let’s have a look for the lift
That way I think any of these is good isn’t it but I yeah I think so ah there’s the lift the entrance it there yeah I will I’ll this one that was a fun ride into Warsaw and as ever we checked into our hotel quickly had a quick shower and a quick
Turn around to go and look for somewhere to eat and we came to warsa about 4 years ago and we distinctly remember this one restaurant where we had breakfast it was freezing cold and this place was open and did a great breakfast and we’ve come back to the same place
Four years on it’s called Tel Aviv it’s like a Israeli Lebanese restaurant and it’s one of our favorites here so really glad it’s open and they’ve got seeds for us I think you can just spot them just in there we’re going to eat inside tonight so we don’t get stung by any
More mosquitoes but the restaurant hasn’t changed a bit since we were last here so really glad that it’s still here and it looks like our first dish has arrived starters have arrived and we went for the Mez platter so we could try a little bit of everything and I
Remember the fluffle from here from four years ago so we’ve got some fluffle potatoes some dips um I think this one is Baba Gano hummus and a mango dip as well but look crunchy floel be good next thing to arrive is the drinks I think it took so long because I have
Ordered one of their specialty cocktails which is not like me at all but this one is matcha with aqua fiber topping so it’s completely vegan normally they use an egg white for the top but they use as a good way to celebrate as we come towards the end of our trip so Cheers
Cheers oh that’s really oh it’s really earthy it’s lovely that’s a good pint as well Mains have arrived we went for the hummus plate with h plant-based meat and grilled vegetables with the salad looks fantastic and we’re still nibbling on our starches they also left the menus
With us in case we wanted to order anymore didn’t they yeah which I don’t feel like we need it’s a bit presumptuous but it’s a good idea I think don’t take the menus away how is it it’s really good just just good scrummy food good morning from Warsaw
We’re having a relaxing morning here and we’ve headed straight to breakfast and found this Cafe yeah in an apple name Cafe cuz it’s called the relax Cafe it is yeah that is good for us I think we needed a slow morning we’ve been pretty fast pace for the past four weeks so
It’s been nice to have a little bit of slow time this morning and get some scrummy breakfast we have tofu scram ball a big salad mushrooms on souro toast gluten-free pancakes and as well as French toast and Sean also got the breakfast plate it looks insanely good it does look insan
Am we’ve Ed quite a lot there as well yeah well the plan is we have at least 500 km to do today we’re not sure on our route we’re going to discuss that a bit later but we wanted to fuel up ourselves and then head out to Oldtown just for a
Quick little stroll around we don’t need to see everything we’ve been here before so yeah we have a little quick look feel of the city again and then head south I think we’re probably going to end up staying in the Czech Republic tonight okay that’ be cool but yeah we reached
That part of the trip where we have to put in some kilometers and head back home but we we’ll decide what we do a little bit later on yeah but first you got to try that too scramble it’s amazing let’s talk into this before it goes cold I forgot how beautiful this
Place was it is isn’t it it’s uh it’s a gigantic City well I forgot how big this city was I think it’s grown been here I remember being this big last time but yeah this old town is which is where we’re walking now in this Square it’s a really beautiful collection of buildings
Isn’t it it is and it’s perfectly capped and you can see that they’re doing a little bit of work on it as well to keep it maintained but it is stunning here and I don’t think we fully saw it a few years ago cuz it was so cold so I think
Another trip to Warsaw is definitely in order yeah I think you could spend quite a few days here in wara cu the city is so big yeah that says a lot cuz we’re normally like in and out with we’ve done like you don’t need more than a weekend
But I actually do think you need more than one or two days here there’s a lot to explore yeah we’ve only got another half an hour here but um I’m glad we made it out to the Oldtown just to remind ourselves about how nice this is
Is but now let’s get back on the road and head south and continue our journey home we have to check out in about an hour so we need to make our way across the city which is going to take more time than I actually thought well yeah get checked out get the bike
Loaded up and then decide where we’re going to go next so we’re just going to have last 5 or 10 minutes strolling through old town before we head back

The Heading North Tour has been truly fantastic and I enjoy watching you make your way home, thanks for taking me to all these new places 👍🏻
Trakai castle is definitely in my bucket list. I have seen quite many videos and photos of it and really want to visit it some day. You had very nice drone footage from there!
Nice ride through the Warsaw city at the sunset time. I haven't been there except once when I flew from Gdańsk to Warsaw and then to Helsinki and didn't go out from the airport terminal. So I don't count it as a visited city even I technically have been there. I love Poland and I have had good time there every time.
Hi Sean and Emily! Warsaw does not look like when i was there in the late 90😊 It looks quite nice. Poland is a great country and the people are fantastic. Thank you for sharing 😊🏍️
There is no border office between Lithuania and Poland. Is this because they are members of the European Union?
The drone footage of the castle are amazing, the contrasting colour with it's salmon coloured roof tiles, lovely! Sean you were proper getting a wriggle on through the traffic in Warsaw 🤣And once again you found a stunning place to eat, that food! it made me hungry! Lovely video.
Warsaw looks like a modern citi. Would like seeing more of the old town.
Want to visit Poland and Germany (riding thru the little old towns).
Beautiful city, and beautiful night ride too, amazing !
Hi from the UK, Found your channel last week. Thoroughly enjoyed the ones I have watched. The content, filming and narration are all perfect. Keep doing what you are doing. Emily, if you want to write a recipe book I would buy one.
That’s a huge breakfast!! Great video. Thanks for sharing.
