Anyone else going this way. 7 of us flying into Riga about half 8 on the Sunday night spending the night then getting the bus/train to Vilnius on the Monday.
Back to Riga on the Thursday and home on the Friday.
I had a link to a Eurolines timetable for buses between Riga and Vilnius - does anyone know of any other companies who run buses on that route.

Nae bother Jim.
We're flying out from Heathrow on the Sunday at 12.10pm to Copenhagen - Scandinavian Airlines. Couple of hours boozing time there then 5.50 flight to Riga - Air Baltic. On the way back it's 1.20pm from Riga to Copenhagen and 2.55 from Copenhagen to Heathrow.
Price was originally £280 but we got another guy added and it was up to over £300.

There are 9 or 10 of us getting into Riga on the monday afternoon and leaving on the saturday, so probably have a the first and last night drinking in Riga and head down to Kaunas/Vilnius on the Tuesday. Any decent pub suggestions in Riga welcome!!

If you're into the whole Irish theme bar thing The Dublin and Dickens were quite good last time we were over. Paddy Whelan's (another Irish theme bar) is meant to be good as well but it was closed for renovations for the last game.

Wee Midges and I now booked. Heathrow to Prague to Riga on the Monday. Late arrival but still time for a few pints in Dickens/Paddy Whelans then on the Bimini Club or Pepsi Club (or was it the Coke Club, something like that - too pissed on the last visit to remember). Night in the Reval Hotel Latvija. Bus to Kaunas the next day (just over 3 hours). 2 nights there at the Best Western Hotel. Visit Vilnius on the Thursday then late night train back to Riga. Early morning breakfast then out to the airport for 9.30 flight home. Sorted. Flights booked with Czech Airlines at £178.
