Sebastian, we will remember you as somebody constantly having an eye on the wind conditions ! Not easy, indeed, to find the right spot with wind from the right direction and the right force at the right time...

Though, when you see how fast they drive on these bumpy roads... Anyway, at the end, you are just happy to be back in one piece !

It is getting dark and we are soon running out of fuel... Fortunately, an old man coming from nowhere, speaking no English at all, arrives with a bigger shovel and helps us getting out of trouble. Whoever you are, "paldies" !

Honestly, we imagined it a bit more impressive then that... But it seems that we were not there in the best season. You should go there in spring or automn to observe the flying fish going up-stream !

Ihr glücklichen 5! Ihr seht so happy aus! Ihr könnt soooo viel erleben in so kurzer Zeit! Und Louis, ich könnte glatt in Dein Pilz-Brot beissen. Das macht einem gerade hungrig! Ich liebe Pilze! Danke für Euren unterhaltsamen Zwischenbericht aus Lettland! Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz!
