Palanga

In the morning we drove to Liepaja which is a major port town which got a lot of attention from the Soviet government. They set up their Baltic naval base  and built warehouses for nuclear weapons just north of the city.

The city is trying to reinvent itself and is doing pretty good at it. We enjoyed the main sights with the exception of the naval port, which can only be visited with an appointment. Nice churches, a lively market and pedestrian friendly common space surprised us positively. After another warm soup we headed south to Palanga.

It is the Latvias busiest sea side resort and has a beach that lasts for 18km. There is also a wonderful city park in which we could even see deers grazing. Only a few of the many restaurants were open when we passed because the high season starts later. We drank a few beer after strolling the city and ate good.
