We arrived into Riga at about 6.30pm, checked into our hotel, then went to explore the old town.
We deceided to have dinner at Easy Wine restaurant, there is also an easy beer and easy beer and burger restaurants.
It is quite novel to watch, how the wine is dispensed, all self serve. DH drinks beer, he could order a bottle of beer, not on tap. If you wanted wine, you choose which one and how much, put in your credit card and away you go.
The restaurant was full of young ladies.
On a lighter note, look what is next door to our hotel.
The next morning we had a city tour with Andra, who is our guide for the next three days, she will be with us until Tallinn.
Riga used to manufacture penny farthings.
Latvia has a population of just under 2,000,000.
Beautiful Art Deco buildings.
Riga Catheradal, we had an organ recital here.
The city was surrounded by a wall, this one was discovered and restored.
There are lots of narrow streets and alleyways.
This was a gift to Riga from Germany for children, if you rub the noses, your wish will come true.
The freedom monument, two guards are always there, change every hour.
To be continued.
