Riga

We came back to Riga because the tour only stayed one night and we felt it deserved more of our time.

We booked into the Ibis Hotel a very short walk from the train station.  When we were making our bookings we discovered that hotel prices had gone through the roof and this was because there was a heavy metal rock concert on in the town.  Had we known that at the time we may not have come back to Riga.
As it turned out the concert or concerts had no impact at all on us and we werent even aware they were happening.  The only impact was hotel prices.

When we arrived at the Ibis late in the day we entered our room and were greeted with a bottle of champagne chilling on ice and two large plates with very yummy apple cake and strawberry coulis. Absolutely delicious.  We dont know why the hotel chose to spoil us, but so pleased they did.
