Rundale Palace – Latvia – Part 3

This extract is from ‘Travel Tales from Exotic Places like Salford’

I returned to the stop at 14:30 and the 14:34 bus was already there, so I ran towards the vehicle and luckily the driver waited for me. This time the fare was lower – a different bus company. It didn’t matter though as the destination was still the same bus station where the 15:00 bus to Riga was waiting at Platform 1. I paid the driver and we returned to Riga, arriving at 16:05.

If you are at the bus station in Riga, be sure to visit the vast market just over the waterway – it is the building with the hexagonal arches and is seriously interesting. Fish, meat, vegetables, and cheese/confectionery items, each had their own separate building which together must have been around half a kilometre long.
