Re: Off to Latvia tomorrow.

Your time in Latvia looks great and so nice to be meeting family there, it makes the visit so much more personal. The log cabin and windmill restaurant look lovely.
I have been to Latvia about 8 years ago, we spend about 3 days in Riga and 4 days in Jurmala which is on the coast.
Riga is a very nice city with beautiful architecture. We had a walking guided tour of the city just for us which took about 3 hours. We spend a lot of time exploring on our own also. It was interesting to find that the first ever Christmas tree was in Riga in 1510. The parks and river area in the city are very beautiful.
Jurmala is a very interesting place also, it has been a seaside holiday destination for a long time and was and still is popular with Russians. There is a massive sandy beach which goes on for miles and some lovely ornate wooden houses in the resort. There are some good restaurants, but it was very hard to find anyone who could speak English but in some ways it made it more interesting and more of an adventure.

Re: Off to Latvia tomorrow.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. The biggest bonus was the weather. We really thought it would be cold and miserable but it was lovely and on the last evening Saturday we sat on the veranda of our nephews house and had a barbeque. Lovely and restful.
