Biking Accident



We had a lovely time biking to the little beach town in Palanga, Lithuania.  Riding along the pier, through the town and along the beach.  Unfortunately on the way back Leo’s foot got caught in the wheel.

To cut a long story short, Allan went back to our villa with the bikes to get the car and a policeman stopped to help.  I tried to explain that a car was coming or that he could give us a lift to the police station (our villa shares the same driveway as the police station) but he pretty much didn’t speak any English.  Instead he called an ambulance, I tried saying no but he insisted J

Much to Allan’s surprise when he returned he found himself following an ambulance!  Corban was a little sad that she couldn’t go with Leo. They took us to a special children’s hospital about 25km from where we are staying. 


Leo had an x-ray and much to our surprise nothing was broken.  They are continuing to check him and change bandages each day until we leave.   I guess they will give us some more instructions after this.  It’s a little different to NZ, today the doctor just came and took Leo from us and returned him when he was all patched up.  Because no one really speaks English and we didn’t see what was done we have to try and get it out of Leo.  He’s happy and brave that’s the main thing.
