Wrapped up in their own little world, this charming and romantic young couple were totally oblivious to all around them. The moment was captured in Kaunas, Lithuania, on the banks of the River Neris. Tricia and I had declined the opportunity of lunch, preferring instead to roam free and explore the beautiful old quarter of Kaunas by ourselves. We had just visited a church and witnessed a christening in progress, before deciding to go a few yards downhill to the river bank. There they were, secured in a passionate embrace and demonstrating the art of the Lithuanian Lip Lock, or perhaps it was an unscheduled rehearsal for an advert for the national version of match.com. Out of respect we kept our distance, but they weren’t even aware of our existence. At this point they had come up for air and had spent a few seconds staring deep into each other’s eyes, but then the clinch tightened and full lip lock soon ensued. We didn’t linger, the young lovers had a right to their privacy. Later that afternoon we visited the same spot on the banks of the Neris with our group and a local guide, but Cupid’s young victims were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she'd taken him home to ------------- meet her parents?
