Last night the Swedish bartender, a guy named Casper fully decked out in pirate costume, was organizing a pub crawl starting at midnight, I tried to amuse myself until then but decided I was too tired and too cheap to bother. The hostel is like any fun hostel though, and not really conducive to sleep, all night people come in and out, flick on and off the lights, play guitar and sing old songs, its great fun if your loaded but less so if you just wanna catch some shut-eye, so I plugged in my earphones and tried to doze off, unfortunately people in my room like it a little brisk and kept the window propped open, keeping the room temperature only a few precious degrees above zero.I've given a lot of thought to today's plan, and despite thinking that it would be really cool, I'm opting out of going to the shooting range in the soviet bunker. The biggest single factor is the expense, not so much because 30-40 lats is more than I could afford, but using the notion of "opportunity cost", there are better ways to use it than 20-30 min of shooting up paper targets. Also Tatevik has arranged for me to get a ride from the Tallinn bus terminal with her mum, and I don't want to inconvenience her.
So that means that today's big event will be to find the Lido recreation centre, its kinda like Latvia-Land opened by a brewery company, its a giant log cabin, apparently very giant using hundreds of large fir trees, and houses bistros, bars, rides, etc etc. I don't see myself doing anything other than eating there, but its something to see, I may also do a quick visit to the occupation museum just to see cool statues and such. Then its off to catch my 5pm bus bound for Tallinn!
