Long, long legs and a big sausage
Hi all, I’m sitting in Andy’s beautiful house; warm, dry and turning soft again by the amount of ‘hosting’ that’s been going on - I have a wooly head this morning!
I can see why Riga is a draw to live in, while the old town is small it’s also quite lovely, you can really feel the European experience, there’s a calmness that you just don’t get at home. Folk are friendlier and talking to strangers in a bar is nearly expected! You couldn’t do that in London.
And the girls here are the very best yet by a very long way - they are incredibly beautiful, it seems a national trait to have long, long, long legs!
I have another dilema about getting into Russia, I could skip Tallinn and go straight for the border or go and see Tallin, spend a day and cross the border in just the way I planned. While the visa is open and I could be using it there is probably little difference between the up and accross or just the across bit by map…dunno, the answer will pop out on its own.
Had a metre long sausage for dinner, some beer, had a curry while I’ve been here had more beer and washed me socks…
Andy and I changed the chain yesterday and the sprockets, pretty easy job really and it really needed it, the last 500 miles has really taken its toll on it. You can see the mishaped sprockets and the chain was in really bad condition.
Gotta go now but all’s great, weather has changed and the sun is out 
With regards to the wooly head, mine is still aching in the afternoon of the next day, although in my defence I am older than Jo, and the fact that i’ve just oponed the first can of beer of the day.
As for the long long legs’ would also like to let others know what a lech you are’, whilst sat in the beer gardens you should see Jo’s eyes wander even whilst holding a conversation well sort of. Have to admit though that I do agree that the best girls in the world are in Riga, thats why I stayed with Jolanta. You also have to remember that special Russian word when you get in to an argument with that driver who just cut you up, you know the word don’t you as it’s by now deep in your subconcious, always good for a fight that one.
We’ll have a few ‘cela kaja’ (for the road) tonight.
