New tyres mission (Kaunas, Lithuania - 16/07)

Here we are at the second biggest city of Lithuania a Saturday to find new
tyres for the sidecar....
We start in one shop found on internet which sells tyres: they have no tyres
in stock at all, only orders by internet. They advise us another shop in the
city which has a small selection and the tyre needed are rare... The guy ask
us which bike do we have and surprisingly he has the same bike and he has 2
extra tyres...but in Vilnius, the capital, 100km away and the shops (one to
get the tyres from and one for fitting them) are closing in 2 hours.
We finally got the tyres fitted in Vilnius and back in 3,5 hours with the
fabulous Moskwitsch at 90km/h on the highway: mission accomplished.
