Oh Riga, you really don’t inspire any love affairs do you? Back in 2007 I first visited Riga, the Latvian capital city during the same year that I started this blog.

While staying at Hostelling International at New York City (incidently the largest hostel in the USA), I had put my name down for a few of the hostel’s organised tours.
