Our last day in Latvia

Because today is Sunday in Riga the shops don’t open till 10 or 11 so we decide to have a sleep in and a late breakfast, and what a breakfast it was. Our bodies packed with plenty of goodness we hit the tourist trail, first stop the former KGB building not to far from our hotel . On entering this place of shame I could feel the terror that this place bought to the Lativian people, to see the way humans can treat other humans was so shocking. And to think all this only ended in 1991 the torture and brutality I cannot bear to think about, I left this place shocked and disgusted as i walk the streets of Riga in silence . Later on we go to the Latvian museum of occupation 1944-1991 and hear more stories of this countries plight and listen to some of the survivors stories, just terrible. We pull the pin and head home for a short nanna nap before having drinks at 5.30 followed by a beautiful meal.
