Nb (Superior) Riga

... to coastal suburbs. Public Transportation is pretty good in the city, but a Dublin car hire is your ticket to enjoying the incredible sea coast. The best places to visit in Dublin include the famous Dublin Castle, the Custom House, and the National Museum of Ireland. Come to these places and enjoy the rich history of this city and country. Dublin is a historically wealthy place and it is obviously apparent in the ...

... the city at dusk (since dusk lasts for so long!!) I saw how enchanting it is!! It's gothic, it's baroque, it's modern, it's post-modern, it's germanic, it's nordic... <br> <br>It's a gem!! I can't believe how easily I dismissed it! My walk this morning was north of the botanical gardens and opera house (and in a v. drab area!) but this evening I found the labyrinth of cobbled streets and ...

... we'd already done in the day. There were old women in medieval garb guiding & helping in the castle. There was a woman selling tickets to use the toilet (!) for 20 san each. There was another old woman in the church ... There were stalls of souvenirs set up around the car park, as well as one young woman selling tickets to park. It was obviously a major employer in the area! And open till 8 pm at night. We left around 5.30, and this time were finally driving to Riga. The road ...

... these memorials. The words "Lest we forget" have never had more meaning to us than they did on this day! Thankfully, due to the tenacity of the Jewish people and the willingness of people like Chabad, there is once again a Jewish community in Latvia. Lena dropped us back at our hotel after a day we will not forget. We ended the day with a drink in the Skyline Bar, the highest bar in Riga which was on the top floor of our hotel, and supper at a nearby restaurant.

... of getting arrested for unsolicited advances. I don't know what he was doing, was he looking for a tow or what?? I mean Lewis Hamilton wouldn't dare go that close when he's racing in the F1 never a mind in a coach with about 40 people on-board. I'm not a driver, to be honest I struggle to even get a car moving, but I don't think you need to have any driving experience to know when your life might be in danger and therefore what is considered good or bad driving. If the rocking ...

... marssille. Parhaiten kasityksen marssista saa katsomalla videon seuraavasta osoitteesta: http://blog.amnesty.org/rigapride/ Oli shokeeraavaa nahda marssin vastustajien maara ja se miten paljon vaivaa he olivat nahneet esimerkiksi kylttien tekoon. Suurin osa kylteista oli venajaksi, silla suurin vastustusorganisaatio on venalainen New Generation niminen jarjesto. Kuitenkin vastustajien joukossa on myos latvialaisia nationalisteja. Onkin ...

... in the commonroom or something like that in the hostel until 9:00 am, and two friend of her, and Gerard and me were with them to see Riga (because a lot of people saw things that we didn't see) was more or less the same than the first tourism day, but now having lunch and tea shop. this time we try "dolche vita" tea, and we got drunk with that hehehehe or something like that, bcs we didn't stop to lought. we come back to the hostel, but before we bouth jamón Serrano ...

... Very beautiful, but in my opinion not really comparable to Tallinn. For the evening I met Kristine, the Latvian girl from HC that is crazy about Rio and wanted me to bring her some postcards and Jorgen, the Norwegian guy from the meeting, joined us as we met him by chance on the street. I really enjoyed my stay in Latvia, mostly for the people, but the little I've seen of the land is very nice too. On to Vilnius (photos at a later time).

... the water. Just along the street from the Powder Tower was the city-famous Cat House. The building itself is quite nondescript, but what attracts people to it are the black cats perched on the towers. The story behind them is as follows. According to Latvian legend, the owner of the building fell out with some merchants who resided in the Great Guild Hall across the street. They wouldn't let him join their gang or something. So in an act of protest, he swivelled his cats ...

... de vodka pour une fois. Un jour et demi a Moscou ou j'ai retrouve de nouveau Amanda, en partance pour Saint Petersburg, mais ou malheureusement je n'ai pas pu profiter de la place rouge (installation des podiums pour le 1er mai et 9 mai) ni du tombeau de Lenine (a renover pour le 9 mai), ni du cafe Pouchkine (pas trouve), mais bon, j'etais pas la pour chanter Becaud non plus. Alors on a fait ce que sait si bien faire le Kerros : marche, marche, marche, fait le tour du Kremlin ...
