Travel Blogs from Latvia
Out of the USSR
... have just gone to Turkey with Alban, I bet they're easy to find there. Sunday night took us into Riga, Latvia which exceeded my expectations as another beautiful city. Riga has the first well-landscaped parks that I have seen since leaving ...
Latvia
... up before midday. Sadly, we only spent 2 nights in Latvia. There is much more to see that interests me in the rest of Europe. Latvia seemed very similar to Estonia, so it was just a quick stop off. More old town! Bit more of a party vibe. Apart ...
The days of our lives
We are loving it here in Latvia - though every country we go to we find reasons for staying on longer or coming back again one day... The base here, with its heavily iron-saturated water, steep, dodgy stairs and much need for love and repair, is used over ...
Stag Central
After a largely uneventful 4 hr bus journey we arrived in Riga. There were quite a few tourists on the bus, the first English voices we had heard since leaving Denmark! We also went through our first passport control since arriving in Denmark. First ...
Sleepwalking around Riga
... for nine hours though. I probably drove Jo and Rosa too hard, but we did a lot. Riga is the fairly compact capital of Latvia, one of three Baltic countries to the west of Russia. Population, four million, half of which live in Riga. A big change from ...
Cape Kolka
27/5-29/7 Our next destination was to be cape Kolka, which was a bit of a drive away, so we decided to stop at an open air museum on the way. We have now decided not to go to any more of these, at least until peak season. You are meant to get ...
Week end in Liepaja
Hello, I arrive in Latvia 4 days ago. Many things happen since, Where to start i don't know. I've met already lots of people since then. This city Liepaja is the Latvian's rock city,place where in the hard rock cafe or (rock cafe) you have the most ...
Our Last Day in Riga
... , independence was short-lived for the Latvians. As a result of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of August 1939, Latvia, along with Lithuania and Estonia were deemed part of the Soviet sphere of influence. By 1940, Stalin basically annexed ...
Latvia - a surprise package
Latvia: (19.10-20.10) Arrived at 6.30pm - completely dark, cold, rainy - low expectations Wen & Melinda missed the flight from Barcelona Checked into the hostel - lady really nice Dinner - traditional Latvian fare Casino ...
Looking for a good time in Latvia?
... know it's serious when the British Commission has to print a leaflet for all travellers with hints and tips to enjoy their stay in Latvia. One hepful tip is to remember the details of your hotel - at passport control in Riga Erica, on a NZ ...
Riga
bruciato la cucina dell`Ostello mangiato olive e meringhe giocato a Poker perso a Poker svegliati tardissimo rivisto amici di lunga data (thanks BESTies) ...
Spending December 25th with a Baptist pastor
... 3:00 pm we decided to head up the road to Estonia. With the new Schengen arrangement, there is no border now between Latvia and Estonia and we sailed through the former border crossing uneventfully to Valga. At Valga, though, there would not be another ...
In paradise
Greetings from beautiful and historic Latvia!! I honestly never though I would find myself here on this trip, let along during my entire lifetime, but I am so thankful that we decided to come here. The city is absolutely beautiful and full of historic ...
Riga Cruise
Latvia?!?
... the language and the general look and attitude of the people. It’s funny because I had no intention of visiting Latvia on my journeys this summer so I was completely unprepared for this little adventure. Knowing none of the language ...
Wild West
... a student discount in minutes. The coach arrived and we put our packs in the hold and off we went. Arrived at the Lithuania/Latvia border after about an hours journey. We all had our passports to hand this time so no scrambling around in the hold. The ...
Real Europe - almost home...
ITALIANO A FONDO PAGINA When we arrived in the morning in Riga from the overnight train from Petersburg and I saw the European flag waving on a station that looked much like that of Turnhout, I could not help help it but I started crying like a baby. ...
Riga - party town of the Baltics
... that a train would be out of the question today, I opted for a bus to take me from Tallinn (Estonia) to Riga (Latvia). I was asked if I wanted a business class seat and after already researching this option online earlier, I took it. A business class ...
Vilnius and Riga
Hello there! This time it's me, Tom, doing the blog! I'm sure you've already grown fond of Sarah's rambling writing style and her over-use of "lol" but hopefully you'll get used to me telling the tales - though probably with less classic Blythe humour ...
Loving Riga
... our first border ever by foot. Then from the border things got more easy, Lithuania is way more easy to hitch-hike than Latvia. But the first to stop wanted money... American dollar? Then not long after we got a ride with a trucker to Panevezys and ...
Meeting Robert Schultz in Riga, Latvia
... . Also I relived reading James Mitchener's book Poland. Karen Lee took us to airport and off we flew to Riga, Latvia on a one hour flight on LOT, the Polish airline. We descended over the Gulf of Riga into the airport. Riga is a ...
better late than never
... plastic mug full of vodka. The streets were absolutely packed with people and at this stage we were informed that it was in fact Latvia's independence day. After our beers at the hostel and a few mugs of vodka we were all primed up and joined in with ...
Moving On....
We are still covering plenty of ground, drove through Poland to the Lithuanian border this morning, through the country to Latvia and up to Rezekne on the Russian border. First thing in the morning it is through the border (hopefully!) and ...
La estacion. Pokito a poko
Tomamos el tren de la ma#ana a Riga. El plan es pasar la frontera hasta Siauliai en Lituania. Los dias en los que sabes que vas a cargar el macuto durante horas son distintos. Te despiertas de humor raro, malo mas bien. Por un lado sabes que ya es ...
Balsamo Nero
Non e' stata proprio una grande idea quella di prendere un autobus per spostarmi da Vilnius a Riga, ma era piu' veloce ed economico del treno quindi e' stata una scelta logica. L'autista aveva un rapporto quantomeno conflittuale con il cambio, ma ...
Riga
Liepaeja
Not much to tell here. I'm still travelling with Jon towards Riga and now it's Latvia! Again different money, different funny language and different people. For once even differed kind of accommodation: There's another XY-Beach-Sea-Festival taking place ...
