From the countryside where I spent the night I was driving windy but picturesque country roads, some of them were gravel roads – like in Africa. This was near the border with Latvia. Happily after 40 minutes I found myself on the main road headond NW. The road was empty. I passed the border . marker “Latvia”. No control, nobocdy ask about covid vaccination.
On the route I was lookingfor the inexpensive fuel. In Estonia they charge 1,46 euro per litre. But in Latvia you can finnd small self-service stations where you will pavy only 1,30 per litre. Just look around!
The sun was shining when I reached Riga. It was necessarhy to cross the crowded center on the way to the airport.
I returned car on time. The counter showed almost 2400 kms since de departure 12 days ago. Good score! On the way to the hotel I passed Russian Orthodox Cathedral. There was a service inside and they were singing beautifully…. I noticed 3 rich iconostas see the small one on the picture. Tomorrow I have all day to walk again after 18 years around Riga and to meet my local friend.
