Buddies in Norway: Hiking up Ulriken in Bergen. How’s that for a view?
At least some still have pride in the Euro! Frakfurt, Germany.
A really impressive new shopping center in Frankfurt.
So, apparently in Lithuania reserving a “private double room” means a private room with ONE double sized bed. My buddy and I reenacting our thoughts when we found out that we would be sharing a single BRO-Bed.
In Riga we stayed at a hostel called the Naughty Squirrel. It was much more than a great name: it was the best hostel in which I’ve ever stayed! The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and colorful, and it was super social and a great place to meet people. If you’re ever in Riga, I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
I bought this pastry in Riga since I had no idea what it was. It was sort of a combination of coffee and hazelnut flavors with vanilla cake. I’m still not really sure. It was a good decision, though.
So, we ate at something like the Lithuanian version of Chili’s, except it pretended to be a traditional farmhouse complete with this awesome mural and these props. Also, I ordered “cucumber water” which turned out tasting like pickle water with dill. Also, they had a dessert called “the Mexican” which was a scoop of ice cream wearing a pineapple sombrero. If you’re ever in the neighborhood, stop on by!
