In Ozolini we spent almost 2 weeks and it was unforgettable experience. We learned so much about tea (we're still looking for fireweeds and other herbs in Lithuania to make our own tea :) ) and we finally got reconnected with stunning nature. That's why we'd like to say "liels paldies" to this warm-hearted and inviting family.
