Tuesday 10th April: Kaunas, Lithuania

Yes, I set off on my first European trip (expedition is probably too grand a title) of 2018 in a couple of hours. Hence my sketch here of my rucksack and one trainer, both of which are going to be putting some long hours in for me over the next few days.

This is my all purpose rucksack, and I have to say that it's done sterling work over the last couple of years. I've taken it on every European sketching trip since Ieper 2016, and in fact after taking it as a subsidiary bag along with a suitcase on trips to Ieper and Prague, I actually used it as my only bag on the trips to Berlin and Budapest, and it worked perfectly. It's also the bag I use whenever sketching at home.

I'll post sketches I make in Kaunas, but it all depends on what the wifi in my hotel in Kaunas is like - other wise it will have to wait until the weekend.
