IMG_0079.jpgZviedru Vârti (Swedish gate)15 viewsHad to take a picture of the city gate of Riga for a colleague. Was a bit confused, I could remember he said something about a tower.
Afterall it seems that i kept my word, this is Zviedru Vârti (Swedish gate) The only gate in the city wall that is left, it is made in 1698 by swedish soldiers to have a quicker way to the city center from their barracks.

IMG_0371.jpgThe ferry we never took9 viewsAt 7:30pm some guys from the checkin told us it would not be a problem to get on board with the three of us. Later at about 8:30pm at the checkin we were told that the passenger list was complete. No more persons were allowed on board. As we had no reservations we could not get on board. Would this mean another overnight stay in Finland??

Don't know if a storm hit the parkinglot or that they cut all the trees. At least no tree was standing upright anymore.
