The next stop on our journey was Riga in Latvia and
because of this we took the bus “Luxexpress”. Taking a walk through the city
first, we had a break at a bakery in the city centre where we drank coffee and
ate some cake. When going to Latvia and especially to Riga you have to make
sure that you will see “the house of the blackheads”.

Riga is full of sightseeing places, such as churches
and historical buildings as you can see on the pictures below. In addition, I
recognised while arriving in Riga that this city is nothing like I suspected it
to be. I thought Riga is more a poor city than a city with so many sights and
colours and especially because the sun was shining the city looked even
brighter. After the city tour, we went on walking along the river and stopped
at the market hall. There had been different halls with different kinds of
food, e.g. one hall with vegetables and fruits, another one with seafood, with
clothes and the last one with a huge variety of pastry, bread and milk
products. It was amazing how much food they sold there.

At the end of the day we went for dinner to on Irish
pub because I was travelling with two Northern Irish girls. The food they
served in there was really good but I was also quite disappointed that it is
highly difficult to find a traditional Latvian restaurant in Riga. They would
rather have fast food restaurant where they serve burgers, pizza and kebap.
This is something I found out in Finland too. No
matter where you go, there will be a pizza&kebap restaurant in every wee
village.
