Day 14 - Tukums to Kuldiga

The 90km push through the wind was bad, but felt better than the one to Cesis. Hopefully that means my legs are getting stronger.

Kuldiga is an interesting, medieval town. The problem is that it was allowed to fall into disrepair, and this is an obvious shame. They noticed about five or six years ago and clearly working hard to change it into the tourist draw it should be.

The restoration job on the fantastic cobbled bridge is well worth seeing. From there works have been slower. The high street looks nice, but away from that things truly show their history.

It reminds me of Vyborg a little, and the potential of that city. Luckily Latvia has noticed and is working to fix the historic buildings.

The hotel in the sports centre here was cheap and had a bed. Nothing else good can be said about it.
