Just a short bus ride south of Tallinn is Latvia and it's capital Riga. It is very quaint, a great walking city. The architecture is very eclectic. We made our way through the city and past some quirky looking places, such as "The House of the Blackheads" below.
This little row of houses was my favourite - especially the yellow place with purple flowers, such a great colour combination!
We weren't sure what this tower was exactly, but we definitely have a thing for buildings covered in vines around Europe. There's something a little bit magical about them.
Later it started to rain, so we decided to pass the time in a local pub with a pet bunny!!! There was a rowdy bunch of Irish that I kid you not, had about 8-10 shots in the space of an hour. I felt like throwing up on their behalf.
We crossed the bridge and went for a walk through a park that had been decorated with installation art. You follow a path that eventually takes you along the river and to the outer part of the city.

It was nice to explore some of the very medieval parts of Europe and its culture. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
