Latvia 17 August 2007

Or more correctly for this trip, travels with Jennifer Susan, Jennifer Susan's mother and Jennifer Susan's Aunt (Jen - as she will be referred to throughout to avoid confusion).

Eschewing the £600 via Dublin option, the £450 via Amsterdam option, we took the £180 direct flight from Gatwick with Air Baltic. http://www.airbaltic.com/public/index.html

Anne (cunningly disguised as Kathleen for the trip) and Jen travelled to Bristol by train and we drove up to Gatwick in one car, two suitcases and a rucksack.

The flight was notable for the sushi option in economy class.

We were picked up from the airport and delivered to the Baltic Beach hotel http://www.balticbeach.lv/eng/ shortly before midnight by shuttle bus/taxi included in the hotel bill - just as well as we had no Lats to pay cash.
