Overland Adventure, The First Steps

Hey Everyone,

We arrived here in Latvia last night with a bit of a bumpy landing in a
snow
storm! We managed to get lost already trying to find the hostel because we
got off of the bus way too early but we found a Latvian couple who we
followed round loads of little streets with all of our stuff to a tram
stop
which evetually got us to our home for the next two nights, Fun Friendly
Franks Backpackers, the cheapest we could find but its actually quite nice
and we get free tea, internet and a beer when you get here!

Last night we went for for dinner at Steiku Haoss which was lovely but we
didnt realise there were 30 Harley Davidson members who had come from
Sweden
there having a party. Soon after we sat down we had a big grey haired and
bearded man sat with us called Klauss, he called himself Santa! he was so
drunk but was very impressed with our hoody,s showing the countries we are
travelling to. We ended up speaking to loads of big hairy bikers so it was
quite an interesting first night on our trip.

We will be staying here another night before we start our journey through
Latvia to Estonia will write again when I find some more free internet.

Miss you all and thank you everyone that came to the party,

Mum and Dad I have tried to send you a text but my phone doesnt seem to
work here, so dont get worried!
