I do not remember the name of the country style mansion where we slept. It was in the middle of nowhere. A three stories villa with high ceiling roofs. A huge garden around it and many workers trying to renovate the place which was already in a very good state, all financed by the European Union.
The next day we went to Latvia to a place called Rundale Palace. A baroque mansion built in the 18th century. We discovered the elaborate rooms and bedrooms of the dukes that used to live here with plastic bags wrapped around are feet. A true masterpiece in the middle of nowhere.
We also visited some ancient hills that were artificially put together by medieval villagers, to built their houses upon them. Afterwards they fortified the hills with wooden defences similar to the one visible in the movie The Thirteened Warrior by Antonio Banderas.
