Europe 2015. Part 4. Gloomy Latvia

I decided Hondafreak on the weekends to go to Latvia to Riga, literally on the day) Although, to be precise he promised once, and I was reminded on arrival =)
Early morning moved from Tallinn and after about 5 hours they were on site. On the border flew by stroke and drew attention to the military equipment...and did not understand what she's doing.

The day before in Riga it was raining, so on arrival it was chilly and overcast. Leaving the car on a street, walked to the historic part of the city, which was most interested...by the Way, some streets reminiscent of the streets of St. Petersburg — the same style of homes, architecture, painted balconies and Windows. And wires over the roads)

On the way we found St. Gertrude's Old Church (its architecture and certainly attracts the eye) and the Alexander Nevsky Church. Pay attention to the cars, and as I understand it a taxi, they are different colors: green, yellow and red. Bright looks from the outside) And also that in Estonia, in Latvia — the fashion for old cars? Basically met an old German cars (which is of course not surprising), very little Japanese (but those are mostly Toyota), etc.

In General, after some time, we have already walked through the narrow streets of the Old city))
Read that in 1967 the Old town received the status of protected area since 1983 — a city-monument, and in 1997 historic centre of Riga is included in UNESCO's world heritage list.
It was cool, so somehow we didn't linger at each building.

Amid the houses and streets we found the main attraction for which I can say we went to town hall square where stands the building of the Riga city Council and Riga House of the blackheads, and St. Peter's Church. It is famous for its original spire (total height of the tower of the Church — 123,5 meter, of which 64.5 meters is necessary for the spire). Here)

On the way back, captured the Freedom Monument, erected in memory of the fallen fighters for independence of Latvia. Very beautiful but...

Dining in the same cafe (the name sorry can't remember), well-fed and happy headed back to the car. The truth found its not the first time drained all the phones and had to find the street from memory)
Eventually found and later also about five hours, arrived to Tallinn. Sorry I do not have time to visit Riga TV Tower yet — but now I think it will be an occasion to return there again)

That's all. In the following days I had planned a small sea travel in two European countries) and of course, about which I shall write in the next entry)
Thank you for your attention! Good luck to everyone =)

PS Sorry for the quality couple photo, blame the phone and cloudy weather =D

c
carioca 20.08.19

you know, that's not the point!:)) then of course there is something to see, castles, underground lakes, Yes a whole lot, but the most value of any country is the PEOPLE:))
this byada full!
here it is necessary slowly pokatatsya on the bus to go to the zucchini, and just to twist the head around!
here is dullness!
although I may be very biased!:))a vivid example -another girl from the Drive was here, but NG and even a post she has and she loved it like everything, but...

we were in the Old town and celebrated there! all the old town has been bought by Russians.:))
the difference of course she saw, and I immediately and clearly!:))
