My Travel Adventures

I struggled to come up with an itinerary for Latvia, as travelling between interesting places can be quite difficult without a car. The medieval town of Kuldiga lies a good three hours away from Riga and the buses are not frequent, while the buses to Pilsrundale seem to have been discontinued entirely. Latvia’s second largest city Daugavpils can be reached by train, but the journey takes three and a half hours, and to be honest I am not sure there is all that much to see.

With Christmas just around the corner, this weekend was my last opportunity to see Switzerland in its holiday glory. I decided to spend it in the German part of the country, booking a capsule at a cheap hostel in Zürich for two nights and arriving on Friday evening.
