Liepaja, Latvia

Late this morning we docked in Liepaja, Latvia. We encountered a few swells this morning on our way here - lovely to wake to the gentle rocking of the ship. We got to dock instead of anchor and tender in - huge bonus. Liepaja is Latvia's third-largest city, located on the Baltic Sea coast, and is known as the "City where the wind was born." Population around 70,000 and a history dating back to the 13th century.
We did our usual kind of tour - took ships shuttle to the Town Centre, found a great place for lunch and then walked to see the highlights. It's a small city with a nice blend of historical structures and more modern buildings. Today's Sunday so most of the shops were closed, not as much to see as some other placed.
Tonight we had dinner in Candles - this is essentially the breakfast and lunch spot opn the ship that they transform into a specialty restaurant at night. It can be quite lovely when the weather allows you to eat outdoors. Sadly tonight we were inside, because it was cold and windy. Very noisy and hard to hear. We consoled ourselves by attending the Chocolate Fountain event for dessert after dinner.
