Today we left Liepaja and traveled to where we met our hosts who were going to look after us in Ventspils. It was a sight seeing journey to the new town, including a brewery, beach and lighthouse (which was a bit of an adventure to find!).
We all had lunch at Ventspils at a soup kitchen which is the Rotary clubs main local project, feeding about 70 people per day. We then went to a castle and were given time for a quick change and then taken to an amazing house which won an architectural award 4 years ago. Brooke and Lesley stayed at the house with lovely German speaking hosts (Brooke speaks fluent German) and had a nice time having a sauna and swim in the indoor pool.
Dinner was again amazing and we were made to feel very welcome.
Today is Latvia's independence day, declared in 1991. (the cake in the picture is the Latvian flag)
