Riga - capital of Latvia

Two days ago, we arrived from sunny Munich to rainy Riga, but we were thankful for some regular summer days before heading to the heat of the desert.

In the evening, we strolled around the old city looking for food which we found in a Latvian fast food chain called Lido.

Later we looked for drinks and passed by a lot of interesting little bars before entering the Kiwi bar (a recommendation from our hostel).

Next morning we started our real sightseeing tour after a late breakfast - by bus and on foot.
