Riga in winter
This weekend I cruised to Riga with a bunch of good friends. Had a comfortable De Lux cabin on board Tallink Romantika. After a hearty breakfast on Saturday morning, we walked out on the town. One kilometer from the ferry situation, at the National Theatre, is a kiosk. We went and bought fares for local traffic, and then we stepped on board the tram. This is highly recommended. After only three trips we have been passed break-even and gone plus on the investment.
We managed a visit to the motor museum, which is just over an hour by bus from the center. We had lunch at the museum restaurant. I myself took a delicious beef stroganoff with potatoes and pickles. That only cost 40 rubels. The beer I drank to cost just over a tenner for a pint.
We took the number five bus back to the center. The bus stopped next to a Maxima-store, so we went in and shop till you drop for ridiculously low prices. Now we have a couple of bottles of Russian “champagne” in the wine rack, waiting for me to have the opportunity to consign them to the fridge when a friend deserves a glass. The bottles cost a few dollars apiece.
