Hops Riga Beer Festival

Hops Rīga is one of Riga’s must visit summer festivals, bringing together local and international brewers, great food, live music, and a friendly reusable cup system. From our first visit in 2024 to returning again in 2025 — rain and all — it’s become a yearly tradition we look forward to, with 2026 already marked on the calendar.

Edinburgh Scotland

The sun was just about to rise on the horizon at 8:40 am when dad drove us to Picaddily station to catch the train to Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. We’ve already booked the return tickets online, and when we got to the station, we printed it out. Our train departed at 9:26 am and reached York after 75 minutes journey. From this station, our next train journey to Edinburgh Waverly station took 2 hours and 27 minutes.
