Day 5 Arrive at Riga
Our final day cycling into Riga - it was hot and thirsty work today but not so many km to cover. First stop was to visit a wonderful bicycle museum - the private collection of an enthusiastic Latvian engineer who has spent 30 years collecting bikes and everything to do with them.
There were Latvian bikes, Dutch bikes and English bikes as well as German Army bikes and children's tricycles. It was strange to think how Latvian families have served in the Russian, Latvian, German and then Soviet armies, and now presumably again the Latvian army.
In the afternoon we stopped off at the Riga Zoo before checking into the Central Hostel in Riga for the night.
