Rigas' part of the jurney


Hello
guess who's back. Jup u're right little old me;) I have decided to write you next chapter of Baltic trip. I would like to say this might not be the best post I've written, but with limited time, money and brain this is the best I can do;)
If I start where I last ended. It was Saturday, 28th of April and we were still in Vilnius. The car gang left the "bus people - Jano, Miha, Blaž, Nejc) at the bus station and then we went toward our new destination - Latvia - Riga. We were joined by our Lithuanian host Asta who kindly informed us about the current with Lithuanian-Latvian-Estonian relation;) [Picture: CPH crew, nobody knows the middle guy;)]

Of course we arrived to Riga way before the rest and therefore we went to search for our hostel. Hostel which had a really weird name was somewhere in the center of Riga and according to some people it was voted best hostel in year 2005. Our first impression about this hostel couldn't have been better, why you ask? Well let me put it this way if you have few "alcoholics" in your group and you get free beer when you check-in the hostel, what more can I say;) After a brief by one of the hostel manager we went to pick up Melly and the local bus station. The meeting was emotional to say at least, even the biggest "man" couldn't hold their tiers (I could, but you know me - hardcore;). Then we went straight to the hostel where we waited for the rest of the company to arrive. When they finally did we decided it might be nice to visit some local disco where we could party as in the good old CPH days. Hostel manager (Casper I think was his nae, we called him Casper the friendly švingler;) suggested us a discotheque called LA-..... (As you might know I'm against any advertising on my blog, therefore I won't write the whole name of the club) and of course we took the offer and joined 1/2 of the hostel in the club. This club has to be one of the best one I've ever been to and even thou I haven't been to many this is the best one you can find in Balitc. What happened in the club is more of less history so I don't need to explain it at this point;). Next morning when we woke up, we had to drive Asta to the bus station, since she had to go back home. That was the first time we realized this trip won't last forever and we have to enjoy ourselves as long as we can. When Asta was safe on the bus to Vilius we split into 2 groups, one want sightseeing around Riga and the rest went to have a coffee on a big skyscraper;) Since I was in the lazy group I can't tell you much what happened on the sightseeing tour, but the pictures are nice;) And well on the tower, nothing special was to see if you don't include nice view and nice girls;) When the groups were re-joined again we went to eat pizzas. After the meal we went back to a hostel where we had a relatively chilled evening (if you exclude Pero eating a raw fish - video coming soon, Jano drinking few beers in few minutes and Blaž new Liverpool acquaintances) . On the Monday morning the "bus" crew almost missed the bus, while the car crew chilled for couple of hours in Riga, before going on to Tallinn, but that's a different sorry isn't it;) [the mistakes in the text were left there so you can improve your English knowledge and so you can excercise your brain. Please don't tell me there are mistakes in the text I know I've put them there;)]

I have no words to describe the feeling when I saw you all, it was crazy, crazy, crazy...and the butterflies in my stomach :)
I have to say it was the best hostel I've ever been to, the first thing after I entered they gave me a free beer :) and i remember everybody were quite tired already, but i was so full of energy and started drinking vodka while others still drank only beer, but soon they joined me of course :D BTW when we headed for the club we had the worst woman taxi driver - she was so angry. But the clubnight was great! It was really like the old times...and believe me - a lot of drinks :) and the boys were so excited cos some girls we topless or smt!
It was so sad that Asta left already the nexy morning...she was only teasing me with such a short time - we didnt have a chance to talk like usually...but we'll do that in summer!
Yeah, yeah Kure - you sure went to the Skyline Bar to drink coffee :D when i came u all had some cocktails there :D but the view from there was amazing! And the evening in our hostel was very chill, u cant even imagine how quickly Janvit drinks beer ;)
And one more thing - i have never woke up and packed all things so quickly as I did on Monday - 5 minutes and I was running already :P
Ps! I loved Riga, cos I met some really nice new slovenian guy(s) ;)))
