We arrived into the capital of Latvia, Riga for our only day in the country before driving north east into Estonia. After checking into our accommodation and revelling in the cheap prices surrounding us again, we explored the small, slightly run-down old town (half the buildings worth seeing seemed to be covered in scaffolding) amid the rapidly changing climate of sun and torrential rain.
One day was enough for us as we covered the entire old town and failed in our attempt to go to a highly rated vegan/vegetarian cafe with good coffee (not used to shops being closed on Sundays!). However the following morning after picking up our hire car, we headed back to the cafe which was open this time, and enjoyed an awesome brunch including great coffees, a mushroom & thyme mini pizza with garlic butter, a puy lentil salad with home made salsa, and the cafe's most highly acclaimed item; their brownie. All was amazing and it gave us a great base to begin our afternoon drive north into Estonia!
