Trakai




What a lovely place our camp site was! We were surrounded on three sides by lake and could see the fairy-tale Trakai Castle across the water. Trakai is charming in every way.
We also visited the Knessa of the Karaite people. Some 380 families came to Trakai from the Crimea. They originated in Iraq/Mesopotomia and worship a mixture of Islam and Judaism. They are the people of the Word. Very few survive.
