Just wondering, are those the illustrations I took in my photos above?

Yes, those that cover the toilet windows ;)

As for Riga, it's a topic for a whole post, but I'll just quickly list some of the most important things for me (very subjective)...

First of all, you can find chocolate-covered strawberries in the Rimi supermarket or in the Skriveru company's shop at the railway station. They are delicious!

At 48 Tallinas Street you will find a very Latvian mural.

From Tallinas, you can walk to Miera Street. It has a great atmosphere. Very Latvian. Few tourists ;)

If the weather is ok, it is worth taking the train to Jurmala to see the sea. It is best to buy a ticket to Majori station. Nice wooden architecture is there.

When it comes to museums, I like Museum of Decorative Arts and Design. But of course there are many others.

As for places to sit down, have a drink and a quick bite to eat, I recommend Ezītis miglā. There is also a cool café on the mentioned Miera Street, at number 9. It has the name 'Miera'. It doesn't show up on Google, but their Facebook is active.

So much for now.
