Today we woke up around 8: 00, since we started at 10 o'clock to Riga. After three hours we have then arrived in Riga, Naugty Sqarrel hostel checked into our rooms after hogging taken, parked stuff and explore the city. Pizza, we could of course not omit and also be a break in the Cafemusste. Joschka and Michi with Arne again Barber gone and others back to the hostel, and are of course curious to see how they come back. Pictures will follow…
The highest dunes in Latvia
Not far from Liepaja, there is the highest dunes in Latvia. They are so high, be viewed almost q as a cliff. We walked quite a while on the beach along, have looked naturally also amber, but not found. On the way back we have got to hurry anything, because frank and Sasha had an appointment for a tattoo. At home, we packed a little together, and Poland – looked Northern Ireland. When Frank, Sascha and Julian were back, we have vegetables noodles and eaten for dessert rice pudding and then the 2-0 by Germany against the Ukraine looked, have heard while some Kalle Blomquist. After all against 24 hours in bed then fell.
The Spa…
There’s a large Olympic Centre, to which belongs also a leisure pool in Liepaja. We don’t know why that is now Olympic Centre, still. But in any case, we wanted to go there bathe. When we got there, had we us, after Frank had paid, first take off the shoes and submit to the dressing room. Now we were allowed in the locker room to shower us. Joschka was somewhat complicated, because the bathroom is on the upper floor. and we actually not allowed to take the wheelchair upwards. But after much to undher phone calls between cash and lifeguard, was then, and ultimately, everyone had fun.
In the evening we have for something search still found a restaurant in which we easily went with Joschka, and have eaten dinner.
a quiet day
Today we actually had before everything to tackle a bit quieter. I went after the breakfast in the city to buy a hand-woven scarf, the others have purchased something else on the market, and were still drinking coffee. When they came back it was too late to go swimming. So everyone still kinda did what he wanted, and after dinner, “Five friends” looked the one and the other the opening game of the European Championship.
The Museum
Today we visited the Museum of Liepaja. Because unfortunately, the building is not wheelchair accessible, Joschka couldn't. That's why frank and Joschka gone comfortably to the beach and ate ice cream.
In the Museum we have seen finds of stone age, bronze age, and the Vikings, etc, that were found in the region around Liepaja. Learned something about the city's history. There was also an exhibition about the fashion of the region at different times to see. Then we also went to the beach and have something to eat.
The Arts District
Today we visited the Bohemian district of Liepaja. In an amber showroom, we have seen many beautiful amber neckl
aces, bracelets and other amber jewellery. Then we went into a building with many different traditional workshops. A nice young man offered to lead us through the House. There's a hand-weaving, a small pottery, which makes the decor with tips, a jewelry workshop, and a traditional tailoring, and much more.
We're after coffee, cocoa and Cola – Arne said she was good… everything else was not our idea – wander to the square of roses, bought in the tourist postcards and postage stamps. and after a picnic where we have written them, also sent out.
Pajosta and the cliff
Today we are Pajosta and the cliff drive. On the way, doubts surfaced Arne whether we are still on the right track. But the now the flux Navi confirmed the way. In Jurkalne we were looking for a way to come by bus on the cliff for now. Finally found the way we had reached even the cliff. While Joschka and Sabine waited above, we other descended the staircase to the beach. Arne and I began immediately to look for amber. Unfortunately we have found none.
Then we drove on to Pajosta, a pretty fishing village of Latvian. There we ate tonight in a cosy Guest House with warm pine wood furniture. On the way back we went on a special bakery past.
The National Park of Pape
Today, we want to go to the National Park to Pape. When we arrived, we noticed that the pasture land of bison, wild horses and aurochs reasons may enter only with a Ranger. It was also a phone number, again we called no one took off. So we drove on. On the way, we have seen two lonely wild stallions. Also we have seen Reed frets that were freshly cut and a Reed harvesting machine which just paused. In Pape, we found a nice garden Bistro, where we ate something after we are little walk in the forest.
On the way back we have bought something else.
