#237 CRUISE FUN IN LATVIA

Day 1 of our journey began with a leisurely ride to the cruise departure point, as we eagerly anticipated our adventure in Latvia, a beautiful country that had captured my curiosity. In preparation for my travels, I always dedicate time to research and gather insights about the destination, identifying places to dine and must-see attractions like any avid traveler. Latvia greeted us with breathtaking scenery, resembling something out of a picturesque postcard, reminiscent of Switzerland's charm. However, before immersing ourselves in Latvia's beauty, we reveled in the pleasures of our cruise trip, a delightful experience that had our son, Yog, thoroughly enchanted.

The cruise offered a meticulously crafted blend of entertainment, catering to both kids and adults. A noteworthy feature was the kid-friendly zone, where parents could entrust their children to play while they enjoyed a relaxing moment in a nearby pub, all the while keeping a watchful eye on their little ones. This thoughtful design made it possible for us to unwind while ensuring Yog's enjoyment. Following a well-deserved rest and a sumptuous meal, we delved into the world of amusement and games, tailor-made for the kids. We wanted Yog to ease into the gaming experience, so we introduced him to the ballroom. Initially hesitant, perhaps due to the spirited chaos of children jumping and tossing balls, Yog eventually immersed himself in the activity, playing with relentless enthusiasm. We ordered some snacks and observed his sheer delight as he frolicked with newfound friends. Another attraction that truly captivated Yog's attention was the miniature horse-riding activity. It involved pedaling to set the toy horses in motion, a favorite among the youngsters. Yog was so engrossed in this game that we half-expected him never to leave. This provided us with a welcome respite, allowing us to explore the cruise further.

While Yog indulged in endless fun, I seized the opportunity to browse the duty-free section. There, I found enticing offers on my favorite brands that I couldn't afford to miss. Additionally, the cruise featured a dance floor and a cozy pub area for those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere. We decided to unwind there for a bit, opting for refreshing beverages and enjoying the pleasant melodies. Currently, Yog has developed a fascination with bananas and thoroughly enjoys munching on them. While they are undoubtedly nutritious, his eagerness to consume more than one in a sitting occasionally raised concerns about his digestive health. Nevertheless, his love for this fruit was apparent, and it added an amusing twist to our voyage.
