The morning of the start of travelling was, thankfully, uneventful after a crazy night of packing (thanks to Craig, Lucy, Rach and mum for helping with that!).

The flight however was more eventful. We tried to blag our way onto priority boarding. They didn't ask anyone else apart from James and I for priority tickets, which we didn't have. Oops.

A few minuets into the flight, the women behind me fell unconscious. The flight attendant asked if there was a doctors onboard. James started putting up his hand. I pulled it down quickly. We think she had taken drugs after she said she'd injected something.

We found the hostel with ease after getting on the bus without checking what number is was. Thankfully it turned out fine. The girl behind the counter at the hostel gave us a free beer straight away. Win. We mingled with people staying in our hostel, then went bed. Wasn't to bad considering there were 14 other people in there. All men.

The first real day in Riga was good fun. We went on a walking tour on the city with a couple of local students.

We're off to Tallinn tomorrow, so are the students so we've arranged to meet up there.
