Fuel hose replacement

Not the Balkans (former Jugoslavia) but the Baltic States (Estonia, 
Latvia and Lithuania) :-)

Trip headlines. My neighbours daughter (Kawasaki ER-6F) and myself (GPZ

Trakai castle, Gariunu Market, football, good food)

Gauja, bobsleigh ride (wild!), bungee jump (not me - neighbours 
daughter), more football and more good food)
