In between London and Latvia

Hello everyone,
Well we just arrived in Riga, Latvia 4 hours ago and already we are having a great time. Met a lot of Aussies here surprisingly (well, they own the hostel where we are staying at I guess!) We are looking forward to visit the old city tomorrow. yesterday we met with Nick's brother, Shawn, around noon and went to visit King Henry the VIII residence (Hampton Court Palace) and it was absolutely fantastic! To think that everything is dating from the 16th century period is just incredible. We got a tour from a dressed up lady who pretty much told us to recreate it the way it would have looked like (paint on the ceiling and walls, golden and silver tapestries, etc) 500 years ago! Of course it looks older now but... Abyway we did that during the day, went for thai buffet for supper and Shawn very nicely offered us tickets to go see a musical in Central London so we went and saw "The Producers". Shawn, thank you very much, it was exceptionally good. I (Isabelle) recommend it to everyone. Anyway, we'll post more after a few days in Latvia. The picture you see is from Hampton Court Palace.
