Today's hike in numbers:

21k+ steps tallied
7 euros spent, all-in!
6 instances I went in the wrong direction
5 hours of "hiking"
4 castles (& ruins) visited
3 "wild creatures" spotted
2 nice Latvians met on the road
1 solid nature experience
.. all that and more, for the first non-Riga thing I did in the last 10 days!
