After a few weeks of taking taxis to and from work, we finally got a car and decided to take a trip to Liepaja, which is about 3 hours west of Riga.
After an uneventful drive, we arrived to Liepaja. While we were there, we started out by heading straight to the beach to get some pictures of the actual Baltic (compared to the Bay of Riga). After that we went bowling at an old bowling alley and then finished off the night attending the FK Liepaja v. Riga FC soccer match. The next day we headed about 30 minutes north to the
Northern Forts, which were built in the late 1800s and then to
Karosta Prison, for a quick lunch and tour - you can actually stay the night there for a full prison experience, but we didn't... Overall, it was a great two night trip outside of the city. Here are a few pictures:
