First stop, camping 'Jūrasdzeņi', on the Baltic Sea coast of Latvia. We were able to fill up our water tank. In the process, I had a little mishap. I have to flush the...

Pearls on the Baltic Sea

[English version below] In Tallinn we did not stay overnight, but in the evening we took a bus towards the capital of Latvia, Riga. The train system in the Baltic countries...

In the Latvian capital Riga, we spent two very nice days. First, we were lucky to find a free parking space (this time really free ;) right on the edge of the old town, from which...

Wide fields

Today is another short stage of the journey. Today, for once, Adrian Stern is shortening my time. Let's see if I can emotionally handle that... We are going to Sidulga, a town...

Now I have leisurely wasted some time in beautiful Lithuania (on purpose). But as they say: I am on vacation, not on the run. And the days in Lithuania have done me good....

Riga is beautiful. Art Nouveau, street musicians, winding streets. The longer you travel, the more tips you get from other travelers. And almost all tip givers agreed. Riga was...

EDIT: PHOTOS WILL FOLLOW! Riga, 08/21/2017 As always, we arrive in Riga in the evening. Since we unfortunately couldn't find a couch to sleep on (we are always a bit late!), we...

Today I took it easy again. I liked the place so much that I decided to have another rest day. Artur, the owner, is very flexible. The night was extremely quiet, I was woken up...

Day 9 - Midway Well, if it rains for the first time on the ninth day and only while we're sitting in the car, you really can't complain.😊 But five hours of driving, four of...

Latvia remains in our memory despite a short stay with many experiences. First, I celebrated a small premiere that I didn't think was possible:

Day 17 - back to the starting point Penultimate day of our Baltic tour. And last border crossing - goodbye Estonia, hello Latvia again.😊 In the past few days, we have not only...

Riga - Day 2. Today we explored the Old Town more closely. Not so easy with all the alleys! Each one is intriguing, tempting you to follow it.🤓 By chance, we stumbled upon the...

Actually, I didn't want to continue the blog at all during this Eurotrip. But just now I browsed through old posts and somehow I find it nice...

Day 18 - It was very beautiful, we were very happy.😍 Before going to the airport, we explored the neighborhood behind Riga Central Station. The dominant 'skyscraper' was built...

Today we have chosen Jūrmala as our destination. A kilometer-long sandy beach with super fine sand. With very summery temperatures just under 30 degrees, we were looking for...

Just yesterday, probably in the first culture shock of arrival, I was sure I would flee this morning. But after a restful night, it looked different. There are indeed many...

Welcome to Riga!

Arrival in Jurmala

After finding a beautiful waterfront spot in the evening, we were able to walk to the old town in the morning. The weather was wonderful again and Riga's reputation as the...

Today was all about city hiking. After a rather average breakfast at the hotel, we set off shortly after 12. I had planned a route with my navigation app Komoot that was...

We continued our journey in a southern direction from our overnight camp, past Riga, towards the Devil's Cave in the Gauja National Park. The travel guide promises that every...

After a long or rather very short night on the occasion of our slightly more extended Schnapszahl wedding anniversary celebration, it felt much too early for me yesterday Sunday,...

It's a pity that we only had a short amount of time to visit Tallinn today. We could only manage a minimum in 2 hours. The positive impression from yesterday was confirmed:...
