riga, latvia (two nights in a campsite- luxury)

you can probably tell that a less literate person wrote the last post.

that person was daddy.

there are divisions in the camp. tempers are fraying after just 1 1/2 weeks travelling. this does not bode well.

the last field we stayed in was lovely and had lots of wildlife. lewis got in trouble for mistreating the frogs, nevertheless is obsession continued.

i do have a bad back from sleeping on the ground but last night was not my first on the ground. there has not been a single night when my air bed has remained inflated for more that 2 hours. i would say that i have held out better than the others would without an airbed.

riga has been the best city we have explored so far and it has not felt as though we have been away for a particularly long time as the countryside has been similar, in many areas, to that of the uk.

in many cases, 55mph does not allow us to keep up with the trucks as they seem to love a bit of reckless driving in eastern europe. the car has so far been holding up well but an ominous rattling may be heard from the back of the car all too frequently. we have be promised it's merely the exhaust.

one the padlocks for the trailer has been lost so we are on the look out for a new one.

the weather has been nice and wet; this makes a change from the stifling heat we we experiencing before.
