Subject: Post: The bus driver never wanted any money for the ride then. Usually they have a separate person selling tickets in here, but I guess at this time of day they just don't care. By the way, seems like the official price for a bus ticket in Riga has raised a bit, it's 0.50 lats nowadays..<p> We jumped out of the bus in the downtown, and started hunting for anything eatable. Riga has often felt a bit sleepy city, and at 7am on a workday morning it definitely was like that. There was nobody on the streets, and no place to get breakfast was open. Finally we found an open cafeteria in the old city, which really didn't look like the cheapest or best one in the town, but there wasn't much to choose from.<p>So, due to lack of choices we ended up having coffee, pizza and ice cream for breakfast.. Not really the most traditional Latvian breakfast. :)<p>The weather in Riga is a bit cold, we really aren't dressed up for this kinda weather anymore. Somehow the weather feels even colder than what it was in Finland, and there are even some random rain showers. Our flight to Istanbul should depart Riga in less than two hours, so I guess it's time to get ourself back to the airport. We might even survive this day awake, as I'm feeling surprisingly lively at the moment.<p>As a side note, sometimes I really don't get the point of the airport security measures. Obviously it's totally ok to take liquids out to the city and back through the security check, as long as they have been sealed in a plastic bag when you bought them, and you did that less than 24 hours ago.. So, our Salmiakkikossu bottles are quickly visiting Riga with us and then continuing their journey towards Middle East :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
