Winter in Riga ❄️

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

The recent winter photos that edje posted of Holland made me think of my trip to Latvia during the arctic outbreak dubbed ‘Beast from the East’. This was when a polar vortex wreaked havoc across Europe as it transported a wave of cold air from Siberia. Despite that, we loved Riga so much - everyone was friendly and spoke English or Russian. We stayed an extra week, even though It was consistently below -10 degrees. I miss these two weeks in Riga and I really look forward to returning there.

So, that is so different from the Riga I've known. 😮

Those are beautiful photographs of Riga @seanreilly. I'm not sure I fancy the -10 degrees though. 😱

You get used to it after a while 😅
