TRAVELING TO RIGA, LATVIA ???????? (Our First Impressions!)
WELCOME TO RIGA, LATVIA! We were so stoked to travel to Riga, because we'll be staying in this beautiful city for 2 weeks! This is by far the longest we've stayed anywhere since we started traveling, so we're excited to explore the city and have a little bit of consistency.
After arriving in Riga at night, we then headed to our Airbnb to check in and grab a quick bite to eat. The next day, we spent the day exploring Riga Old Town (which is SO beautiful) and trying Latvian chocolate and a traditional Latvian liqueur called Black Balsam.
Overall, Riga looks like an amazing city and we are so excited to explore even more.

Despite Latvia being so close to Sweden, we'd never made it there until now. Maybe that's what happens when something is just too nearby and...familiar?????

RIGA Latvia | First Impressions
Our first day in Riga and we were most impressed with this interesting and varied city. We spend the day getting to know the old, medieval town and the city centre, visiting the major sights and getting a good feel for this laid back, understated place (The Art Nouveau district is definitely NOT understated but that is for the following video!)
Come with us on a walking tour around Riga and check out this amazing place to visit.
Some of the famous sights of Riga we visit are :- Riga Castle, Daugava River, The House of The Blackheads, The Powder Tower, The Cat House.
And as we often do, we finish the day by sampling a few of the excellent Latvian beers!

We are the Sosa's.
For 4 years, we saved and prepared for a travel adventure around the world. We are not an extraordinary couple, simply explorers with big ambitions. Always on the lookout for the best food, bargain and sunrise we can find.
Join the journey,
The Baltic States are quickly becoming my favourite stomping ground. Here's my first visit to Latvia
Join me on a pre-Christmas jaunt to The Baltic with a first time look at the fascinating city of Riga in Latvia. I'm only just learning about this part of the world and it's quickly becoming a favourite. There is a lot of unfinished business in the region for sure, but join me on these first few steps into a magical city I'm so glad to have FINALLY discovered.
This was a flying visit to Latvia, but stay tuned for a bit of a disaster in part two where my train journey doesn't quite go to plan...

THE GOPRO SAGA
A bit about the camera problems. I upgraded my GoPro, from an 8 to an 11, hoping to improve my content. Unfortunately on this, only my 2nd trip with the new camera, and for no reason at all (no settings changed) I got home to find a big chunk of my footage had no audio at all. A bit of research later and I see this is another GoPro problem, with some people losing more important footage than me. I really don't get how in 2023, GoPros can still be so damn unreliable. But I also don't get how difficult it is to find a decent alternative, and believe me, I've tried the competition as well. That being said, I still rate GoPro highly for the kind of discreet, easy filming that has shaped my channel to this point, and to be fair, they are replacing both the camera and the mediaMod. The only thing they can't seem to give me is any explanation why on earth this happened. And I know they know, but just aren't prepared to admit it! As I wait for a new GoPro11 to be delivered, I might be back to the comforts of my older edition for the next couple of videos, well, after part 2 of this Latvia trip anyway. I'll keep trying to improve my equipment and my skills, but boy would it be nice to have a camera I can rely on and trust. Right now, that's just not the case. If anyone out there can give me advice on which path to take, I'd be eternally grateful. It just feels annoying to invest hard-earned cash on a new camera, only for it to fail on its 2nd outing. And it sure made these edits a lot harder too! Thanks for reading my wee rant!!!

Tallinn to Riga: First Thoughts on Latvia
We're travelling from Tallinn, Estonia to Riga, Lativa on the most comfortable bus ever. The trip is only 4.5 hours and flies by. We sit in the upgraded section of the bus, curtained off at the back, where the seats are large and come with raisable foot rests, we have a little desk to work at, individual tablets and headphones with entertainment, free wifi, complimentary granola bars, bottled water, and unlimited hot beverages like coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Score! We arrive in Riga and have a funny experience trying to get a Yandex Taxi, but eventually make it to our Airbnb. We head to the local grocery store to stock up on essentials and find that Latvia is cheaper than Estonia. On our first night in Riga, we head to the beautiful Old Town and find a restaurant to have dinner where the food is weighed to determine the price. A great introduction to Latvia!

a week exploring LATVIA | walkthrough RIGA & JŪRMALA
Riga! The capital of Latvia. Once called the winter paris by the soviets and jugendstil architecture city by tourists. With my dad as somewhat of a guide we embarked on our adventure.
Plus Jūrmala where the richest or lucky have their second homes to splish splash in the Baltic sea during the summer. If the water gets warm enough to take a dip in.
Moreover, many people have been asking where I am from and if it wasn't obvious from the 3 videos that I made about Latvia, i am from this Latvia!
And I stayed there more for then 1 week. Staying there for a week just sounded nicer :D Thank for my dad and brother and his fam for having me!

HOW TO PLAY QUEENS:
The rules look more intimidating than they actually are I promise! :D
GOAL:
You have a deck of 52 cards(without jokers). The goal of the game is to have the least among of points or not to lose, meaning to not overpass 50 points. But if you reach exactly 50 the score goes back to 0. You collect points by the end of the rounds. The number correlate with the points ( so 8 is 8 and 3 is 3 etc), King and Jack are 10 points, A is 1 point and Queen is 0 points.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Each player gets 4 cards facing down. BEFORE the round starts the players can only look at two of their cards and remember them. You can NOT look at your cards again or you get a PENALTY CARD. The round starts with one person taking the top card from a deck; they can either switch it with any of their cards OR put it into the discard pile.
The next person can choose whether to take the new card from the deck or take the discarded card before and switch it with any of their cards.
To end the round one of the players after their turn announces “Queens” and locks their cards (no player can touch the cards). Everyone else plates their last round and after the cards get revealed. The player with the highest score gets a penalty cards in the next round.
IF the announcer of “Queens” does not have the lowest score or has a score that equals with another player, then the announcer gets a penalty card.
ADDITIONAL RULES:
Any player at any time can also discard their card(s) if the now discarded card matches the number or face cards. (additionally the special card action apply) But if the player accidentally forgot which card is the wrong one and discards it he gets a PENALTY CARD.
If a player makes a mistake they get a penalty card.
SPECIAL CARDS:
If you discard a King, you can look at any player's card.
If you discard a Jack you can choose to switch any player’s card with another player’s card.
If a QUEEN is discarded you get a penalty card.

How To Have An Amazing Day In Riga, Latvia
Riga, Latvia is a popular stop on a Baltic cruise and there's a lot you can see in one day. In this video, we spend the day exploring Riga for the first time and seeing all the top attractions the city has to offer. We begin at Dome Square in the heart of the Old Town and head down a skinny street of stars to St. Peter's Church, which is almost as old as the city of Riga itself. Next we stop for some good luck at the Bremen Town Musicians, one of the most popular places to take a photo in the city. Next is House of the Blackheads, an absolutely gorgeous merchant house that has been a pillar of Riga society for centuries. You can see the medieval cellars and gloriously rebuilt exterior. Right outside, don't miss the marker dedicated to Riga's first Christmas tree too! Later we go to Riga's Central Market, which is the largest market in Europe - yes, all of Europe. One glimpse will tell you why: it's housed in five repurposed Zeppelin hangars. Extremely unique and a must see in Riga. Visit the Centrālais Food Court here for great food options that are cheaper than you'll typically find around the Old Town. To end the night, we head to a subterranean restaurant called Rozengrāls that has been around since 1293! Here you'll find the city's first well, caverned ceilings, and everything lit by candles. We try Riga Black Balsam, a traditional and much beloved Latvian drink with a secret recipe. It was once used to cure Catherine the Great of an ailment! This place oozes atmosphere and fun and we highly recommend a visit.

This is my first day in Latvia’s capital Riga and I’m stoked to be here! I’ll start the vlog by showing you my £42 per night hotel room at the Monte Kristo which is located on the southern edge of the old town. I stayed here for four nights using it as a base to explore the city and beyond!
To start things off I took a short walk over to the 123 metre tall St. Peter's Church (Rīgas Svētā Pētera baznīca) which is a 15th century medieval church topped with a magnificent steeple. I visited the interior and then caught a very modern looking lift to the observation deck way up in the bell tower. It was incredible to look out over the old town of Riga and see some of the places I’d be exploring over the next few days.
After making it back down to street level I walked past some pretty architecture including a traditional Latvian house and a magnificent Ukrainian church. I walked around the outside of Riga Castle (Rīgas pils) which is where you’ll find some luxurious presidential apartments and a history museum.
As I made my way down to the banks of the Daugava River I enjoyed a relaxing walk over to the west side and then along to the huge Latvian flagpole (Latvijas karogs) where I flew my drone and admired many of the areas intriguing buildings including the Swedbank centrālā ēka and the Vanšu Bridge (Vanšu tilts) which is a cable-stayed design completed in 1981.
