Datumi: 01.07.2023 – 04.07.2023 RIX-LTN 01.07.2023: The first and main reason for this trip – the Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe concert at the world-famous Wembley Stadium in London. When I bought the concert tickets, I had absolutely no plans for this spring, so somehow the first half of 2023 has turned out to be…
Dates: 12.10.2019 – 13.10.2019 RIGA – KAUNAS 12.10.2019: The main mission of this trip is to buy an MTB bike. Originally, the plan was to get a Bianchi Kuma, but yesterday the guy sent me a text saying he had already sold it to someone else. What a move.Since the accommodation was already booked and…
Dates: 14.07.2018 – 17.07.2018 RIGA – TALLINN 14.07.2018: I bought the tickets on the very first day they went on sale back in November. That left me a little over half a year to introduce Madara to the Guns N’ Roses repertoire so she’d be properly prepared.We set off in the morning. Baltušs has arranged…
Dates: 08.08.2020 – 12.08.2020 RIGA – VILNIUS 08.08.2020: We leave for Vilnius a little later than originally planned. Looks like we’ll arrive just before 1 AM, but everything has been arranged with the apartment owner. The road is good and pretty empty. I’m slightly surprised by Lithuania’s motorway, which starts around 150 km before Vilnius….
Dates: 15.09.2018 – 29.09.2018 RIGA – KRAKOW 15.09.2018: Basically just a few hours after carrying the last suitcases and belongings into our new apartment in Dzeguze – we moved this summer and basically spent the whole season renovating – we’re already heading off again. There are six of us: me, Madara, Jānis with his girlfriend…
LĪČI–LAŅĢI CLIFFS 25.12.2020: First stop – the Red Cliffs and Rūcamavots spring. They’re located near Cēsis, so it takes us a little over an hour to get there.We arrive and there are quite a lot of people around, but as it turns out, almost everyone is actually here to collect water from the spring rather…
Dates: 06.09.2019 – 15.09.2019 RIGA – KRAKOW 06.09.2019: This year we’re trying a new driving strategy. Instead of leaving early in the morning, we’ll set off straight after work in the evening. After work, we quickly gather our things. Departure from our place in Dzegužkalns is agreed for 20:00 and, with Swiss-watch precision, that’s exactly…
Dates: 19.04.2017 – 27.04.2017 RIX – ISL 19.04.2017: Madara is stressed. What to take, how much can she take, what to expect. She hasn’t flown for almost ten years. Apparently the airport metal detector sensed her stress too, because out of everyone walking through, she’s the only one who makes it beep. They practically strip…
Dates: 28.11.2019 – 03.12.2019 RIX – PRG 28.11.2019: We take the new CityBee Corolla to the airport. Well, almost to the airport. You have to leave the CityBee in a specific parking lot about a 10-minute walk from the terminal.We arrive about an hour before boarding. At security, they confiscate Krišjānis’ power bank from Madara…
Dates: 28.02.2018 – 04.03.2018 RIX – CRL 28.02.2018: We bought our flights to Brussels for €9.99 during the Black Friday sale in November, so now we’re off for a quick visit to see what Belgium is all about. Or at least get a small taste of it, because this will be the first visit to…
