Recovering from a wee hangover the day was spent wandering round the old town.
The area can be covered in a few hours, including the museum of occupation. I'd been to it before, but it is quite interesting. Every time I'd mentioned the Baltics Russians have said how much they did for them such as free them from Hitler and build factories. This museum shows what many locals think.
The park with a little tributary running through it is probably my favourite part of the city. There are monuments and little hills to explore, but most importantly is the relaxed atmosphere of chilling on the grass in summer.
Definitely a town worth visiting rather than reading about.
