Friday - Sunday
 | Friday - Jūrmala We spent the morning on the beach being far too energetic with a football. Two Russian boys joined us and their dad refereed the second half (though turning up at the beach with red and yellow cards and a whistle seemed a little over the top). After lunch in a nearby cafe, there was just enough time for a more leasurely afternoon stroll through Majori. | |
 | Saturday - Daugava Boat Tour Our tour along the river allowed us to take in some picturesque views of the Old Town, part of new Riga to the North and the central market to the South, as well as introducing us to the ports that export Latvian timber (much of which ends up in the UK) and Russian coal. | |
 | Sunday - Bauska We spent the day with the Baptist church in Bauska. Their church building is too small to accomodate us all, so we met for worship in a restored part of Bauska Castle. We shared lunch at the church building. Outside of the main cities, wages are low, and the church in Bauska is struggling to keep it's building dry and structurally sound, but we were made to feel very welcome by the hospitality of the local Christians. |
