Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 12, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted August 12, 2016 No, I showed you the other meaning..... In case anyone wonders how many Riga policemen it takes to give me a ticket for ignoring a "do not enter" sign (plate of tomato soup with a streak of creme fraiche)........... TEN!!!! I was told the fine would be 30 euros, by the 1st 2 park police, ok no problem I will pay. The 4 municipal policemen arriving at the scene subsequently changed the fine to Euro 55 while 2 more policemen stood by and watched. And when the 2 -pissed off looking "WTF do we have to attend to this"- motorcycle cops took over it was 40 euro.... Am now in Daugavpils, close to the Belo-Russian border.

keny Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 As long as gravel is hard pack and don't have a layer of loose stones they are ok'ish I think. Keep the sunny side up!!!
keny Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Ok, posting for Dutchy as he has a slow internet connection in Lithuania. He has a nice almost new and CHEAP hotel! and as he (the Ace of Spades tour man) was walking back to the hotel in a park, a hard rock band was playing this: What a coincidence!
