The two days and one night in Latvia with Kylie
I'm finally back in London and finally there's a moment for personal blogging. So, I'll be quick with this one.
It was nearly two weeks ago when I arrived in Latvia's capital Riga, and the first thing I did, was having beer and nibbles at the city hall with the rather new mayor of Riga Jānis Birks, celebrating the now gone Midsummer Day.
In these two days I met so many Estonians on the streets of Riga, that it could have been easily Tallinn instead. There were familiar faces on every few meters and in every pub, bar or restaurant.
Two days is enough, though, to take the most of Riga. That included eating in the national fast food restaurant Lido (the best food in town and probably the best value as well), "swimming" in the Baltic Sea in Jurmala and of course clubbing in the best clubs in town. I would write more about it, but I kind of forgot by now... :)
Oh and of course the reason for going to Riga in the fist place. Kylie Minogue and her X2008 tour. It's a pity I couldn't bring my camera in even with the VIP wrist band, but I did have a chance of a close encounter back stage after the show was over. All this thanks to Reno of course, who did the PR for the whole concert. The show too a while to start off properly, but when it finally did, it was difficult to stop it and the people were absolutely mad for Kylie. Poor girl had to sing several extra songs of which the very last one was completely unscheduled, she just loved the public so much! My favourite bit of the show was the huge diamond skull hanging from the sealing on which Kylie had positioned herself smoothly while singing a dance version of Slow. Loved it!
