Riga

The international audience has persuaded me: I now try to write in english..
Riga is maybe the wrong title for last weeekends trip, it should be better called: Shipcruise on a partyboat with "cheap" alcohol lots of funny people and a short stop in Riga/Latvia for seeing the city and going shopping.
Takk so mykket to Kathariina who had a very stressy time with coordinating the trip for us as you can see at the picture beneath...

The boat hat 9 storeys, a nice and strange live-band, disco, karaoke, sauna, pool, etc. ->definitly a very small boat :) We even had showers in our room!

I think the most important part on this trip were the corrodorparties in our corr..
First we had to celebrate Marvins birthday.. but the tax-free shop was already calling us.

We had definitly a nice time between room 1501-1510 until the security guy told us that it is forbidden to drink on the corridor (as everywhere in Sweden i think). So we had to leave and went up to the disco.
Some nice snapshots:

After a shaking night we arrived maybe a bit exhausted in Riga. Riga is a really nice city with many similarities to Vienna, besides you cant find Mcdonalds and all the sh.. there, how great!
They have great bakeries, and at least 10 churches in the city center. AND they have a Cityhall with lots of farmers fishermen, selling their products.



For me the marked i think was the best! I got saussages, really good smoked ones! Of course i also had to buy some smoked fish and kaviar that we later ate on the ship home. It was sooo nice :)


Some fotos of Riga taken from the ship:

The cruise home was even more exhausting, the corridorparty lasted longer and the beer in Riga was quite cheap compared to Sweden. So I and all the others too hat the option to take even more stupid photos..


At the cruise home we had a quite nice storm, and we smashed lots of ice-floes. -made an interresting sound- But nevertheless singing Karaoke and dancing at the 9th floor was still possible, besides the boat was really moving to all directions.
After a good short nap we suddenly were back in Stockholm.
