Latvian Memories

Strangely enough, my favourite hot chocolate ever was found in the mediaeval city of Riga, capital of Latvia. I wouldn't recommend travelling to the Baltic just for a drink, but I would advise visiting for the outrageous architecture and parks in the beautiful city known as the "Paris of the North". Please note that there are several Parises of the North, so when you book for flight, make sure it's the right one. The architecture is a combination of art nouveau, romanesque, gothic and seven other styles that amazingly all fit together to make one remarkable city.

Someone got carried away with the spire.
