It was a hard physical work as the hill was steep and the weather could not choose a mood - either the sun was scorching or it was raining, changing between these two every 15 minutes.
After the first work day we went to the campsite where we pitched up our tents and swam in the lake. Once we were clean and smelling good again we helped our mentor Linas for the preparation of our dinner - a vegetable stew. It was very delicious even if it consisted of the so much hated by me celery! Then we played again some logic games and after that went to sleep because another day of hard work was lying ahead of us.
On the next day we were woken up by some heavy rain and spent the time until lunch in our tents playing cards and waiting for the weather to become better. And it did, so we set off to finish our work. But then it was changing again every 15 minutes.
At the end of the work day we were all so exhausted that we didn't even have any energy to talk. Also my left arm is covered all over by scratches and it looks like I have come back from a battle. And when I woke up on the next day I couldn't even get up of the bed as my whole body hurted. But today I am OK and ready for new challenges!
We would like to thank our friends for their help because without them we would never be able to do this job. Thank you Olesya, Marion and Giovanni and all seven volunteers in Gražutė Regional park!
