Great video, Justin. Loved that tree cake - never seen anything like it. And what a lovely couple you met - so nice watching how people get drawn in by your languages - it's rare that you can't surprise someone with one of your vocabs. A serious skill you have there! Loving the content!

I've been to Latvia in 2018 and nobody believes me that they have better beaches than in most of those typical summer vacation destinations, also sea was not that cold as people expect from Baltic sea. They have literally 50 m wide beaches with sand soft like flour, especially in Jurmala it looks almost like some kitsch from postcard, but it really looks like that in reality. But not everywhere, we've been somewhere more north from Riga and there was sand looking more like from kid's playground, more gross and with little pieces of wood, but still comfortable to walk in, you don't need shoes like in Croatia where it's impossible to get to the sea without shoes. 😀

Yes, the beaches are one of the best there. In my humble opinion anyway. 😀 I didn’t go to Jūrmala often simply because we have a summerhouse near the beach little bit further up north. But it’s the same white, soft sand and beautiful pine tree forest near it. And no bars etc, which is a plus as it was more quiet and more peaceful. One of the best feelings in summer is laying on a beach, listening to the sound of waves and watching the white clouds in the blue sky above. Miss it so much. Thanks for another video and bringing back good memories! 🙂

I was literally there a few days ago! The beach is so nice 👍

Nice to see that my friend is wandering in my hometown!

[thomasliangus]

Thank you so much, sir, for making all these amazing videos!

Thank you for great video. 18:10 that is Lielupe river not Mārupe. Although "upe" does mean "river", Mārupe is a city but not a river.

You speak brilliant English, almost BBC or Queen's English, very friendly to foreign viewers. I assume you are well-educated. Nice to watch. Greets from Poland.

Fab video (as always). I was actually in Jūrmala a few months ago. Lovely place and amazing beach. But I was there in June so wasn’t quite warm enough to fully swim.🤣

[davisa]

I'll be visiting Riga next week! Really looking forward to it, who knows might get a cheeky photo with you if I'm lucky! 😂

The only time I would really be in Jurmala is when I would pass by on a train, it is very nice to see parts of the country I have never seen before
