Sure my name is because Bali became one of my favorite places in the world, but as I already mentioned in one of my first blog posts here on Steemit, I am basically sitting in a plane every other week. And I wanna share my travel impressions and experiences with you.
So let's get started with
Latvia is a comparable small country in Eastern Europe. I have been there several times, mostly at the airport in Riga, I have to admit, because it is one of my main transfer airports. Last summer, I spent two weeks in this beautiful country.
What I remember is not only these cute bus tickets that they have in the capital Riga ;) there are plenty of beaches where you can surf. The downtown area of Riga is a mix of culture and trendy places. Many bars and restaurants, but also historical monuments.
The thing I remember the most, is the so called barefoot trail (in Latvian: Baskāju taka) , where you can hike without shoes.
It was a fun experience. You have to walk over sticks and stones, sometimes mud :D climb over trees and you can cool down your feet in the small river on the trail.
I have to admit some parts were almost painful, when you are not used to walk without your shoes.
Bottom line: we should all walk without shoes more!
At the end of the barefoot hiking trail, you can stop by at this place where you get a warm flower bath for your feet and a nice herbal tea to relax after an inspring barefoot walk.
If you ever stop by in Latvia, make sure to visit the Baskāju taka , also called
THE PARK OF SENSES
You can find more info on their website
Happy traveling!
