What A Lovely Day

[LadyCG]

We've just got back to our hotel after a lovely day out to Bauska Castle, Rundale Palace (one of the filming locations for War & Peace), Hill of Crosses in Lithuania and Jelgava.

Our Driver / Tour Guide was very knowledgeable so we've learnt a lot today :-)

Yesterday we went to The House of The Blackheads and The Museum of the Occupation of Latvia

I had "Bad gateway" a couple of times, DT, but it worked when I refreshed the page.

The Hill of Crosses is also a symbol of defiance against Soviet Occupation and the Tsars as much as it is a pilgrimage site. I can't believe some unmentionable set fire to it last year...
