After the bus tour through the country-side of Latvia from Tallinn we decided our last day in Riga would be sent wandering the streets rather than venturing outside the city.
A late start got even later when we concluded that we would not be able to Skype the kids until late morning our time, late afternoon theirs. Then it was a gentle loop around the Old Town heading down towards the market again.

There were a lot more stalls open on Saturday, with lots of small fruit and veg sellers around the outside of the hangars (to the immediate left and behind the buildings in the photo). There also seemed to be many more meat and cheese sellers inside, and while there didn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary here Robyn and I can always while away an hour or two just wandering around seeing what people buy to cook.

We picked up a few bits and piece - some salami and smoked cheese, and some sweet and savoury pastries for breakfast - and headed back towards the center of town for a quiet beer. Then a rest and later dinner, as we watched the crowds walking through car-free streets having a good time.
