Our second stop in Ķemeru nacionālais parks | Kemeri National Park was at Lielais Ķemeru tīrelis | Kemeri Raised Bog. A 3.5km loop boardwalk (📷1) traverses one of Latvia’s biggest and most popular raised bogs, which began forming some 8,000 years ago when the postglacial climate became warmer and more humid. Such bogs absorb large volumes of rainfall and melting snow, helping to mitigate flooding while also filtering the water—and creating pretty reflections/ habitats (📷2). Aside from sphagnum mosses (crucial in the formation of raised bogs) notable plants adapted to this environment included native Andromeda polifolia | bog rosemary (📷3) and the carnivorous Drosera rotundifolia | round-leaved sundew (📷4). We sat pond-side for a time, entertained by boatmen utilising surface tension to walk on water.

To the west of Jūrmala, our first stop in Ķemeru nacionālais parks | Kemeri National Park was at Sēra dīķu taka | the Sulphur Ponds Trail, about 2km out-and-back. One of the largest raised bogs in the park, here mineral water surfaces through a comparatively thin layer of peat (1–2m thick). This leaves a residue of sulphur and lime on pond vegetation (📷1), altering the mix of plant species from that typical of raised bogs. Darting about we observed Sympecma paedisca | the Siberian winter damsel (📷2) & much heavier orange-coloured dragonflies (📷3). There were especially large examples of native Vaccinium oxycoccos | the bog cranberry on the trail, a rich source of vitamin C (📷4). Other edible berries found in moss bog environments include the crowberry, cloudberry and blueberry. We also identified Zootoca vivipara | the viviparous lizard, notable for giving birth to live young instead of laying eggs as is the lizard way.

Une brève halte gourmande au départ de La Rochelle, dans un fast-food, avant de reprendre la route vers l’île d’Oléron. 🍔✨ Notre humeur actuelle ? L’image semble parler d’elle-même ! 😅 #FoodLovers #RoadTrip #LaRochelle #BurgerKing

At Cape Kolka in Slīteres nacionālais parks | Slītere National Park we took the 2km Kolkas priežu taka | Kolka Pine Trail, which heads into the mosquito-infested forest before returning via the beach. Some of the pines here are 100 years old and are partially buried by up to 2-3m of sand; these dunes are well-covered by moss and lichens. Native Araneus diadematus | the cross orbweaver spun her webs between the trees (📷1). On the beach we met Motacilla alba | the white wagtail, dutifully wagging its tail during an erratic flight against the wind; this is Latvia’s national #bird (📷2). The pink flower is native Cakile maritima | European searocket, which seemed very resistant to both wind and tide (📷3); it’s a member of the mustard family. Reminding us of the NZ dotterel, Calidris alpina | the dunlin also calls these shores home (📷4).

Roadtrip sur ESNON
J'aimerai y retourner, mais il y a tant de lieux à découvrir
Il m'arrive de revenir sur mes pas, après ça dépend de beaucoup de choses
Il y a Joigny juste à côté et qui mérite vraiment d'être visité, sans oublier son Musée WW2https://capitaine-jack.blogspot.com/2024/06/videos-sur-les-cygnes-esnon.html

Lares Trek to Machu Picchu 4 Days
The Lares Trek to Machu Picchu 4 days is the most authentic cultural alternative to the Inca Trail in Peru. Over four days and three nights, you will hike through remote Andean villages, cross the breathtaking Pachacutec Pass at 4,700 m (15,420 ft), soak in the Lares hot springs, and end your journey at the Wonder of the World...

[2/2] We enjoyed a tasty café lunch in Kuldīga & the selection of sweets reassured us Latvia would have little trouble adding to our girth (📷1); they even had a Kiwi classic, pavlova! We browsed some of the boutique shops, some housed in wooden buildings reminiscent of NZ colonial-era style—if you were to substitute terracotta roof tiles for sheets of corrugated tin (📷2). The day ended at Cape Kolka in Slīteres Nacionālais parks | Slītere National Park. Curiously, the cape’s lighthouse lies ~5km offshore, just visible on the horizon in this view from the observation tower (📷3). Cape Kolka is where the waters of the Baltic Sea meet those of the Gulf of Riga; these waters sustained the ancient Liv people (a nearly extinct Finno-Ugric ethnic group) for centuries and local fishermen still catch and smoke fish on these shores to this day (📷4).

[1/2] We continued on the gravel road until we reached the Jūrkalne cliffs, where Quaternary sediments are being actively eroded causing the coastline here to recede by several metres a year, making them one of the most dynamic geological features in the Baltic region (📷1). Inland from here is the UNESCO-listed town of Kuldīga situated on the Venta River & featuring a mix of well-preserved traditional & foreign architectural styles spanning the 13th to 18th centuries (📷2&3). Among the sights is Senais ķieğeļu tilts | the Old Brick Bridge, spanning the Venta since 1874 and purportedly the longest of its kind in Europe (📷4).

Travemünde to the port city of Liepāja in Latvia took the scheduled 22h on our Stena Line ferry. It was a smooth, uneventful voyage, as seen in this mid-morning view to starboard, looking in the direction of the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad (📷1). The broad & long Liepāja Beach was a popular destination for aristocrats in the mid 19th C. Modern visitors are well provided for, with somewhat conspicuous toilets & bins at regular intervals (📷2). A dark & odorous carpet of Furcellaria lumbricalis | clawed forked weed lined the water’s edge; this red algae is harvested to produce carrageenan, used as a thickening or emulsifying agent in food. Heading north we stopped briefly at Ziemeļu forti | the Northern Forts, defences built by Tsarist Russia to defend the Liepāja naval base, but partially demolished during WWI to prevent occupation by German forces (📷3). We made for a small seaside camp we’d pre-selected, having checked opening dates, only to find it closed. The first of our 33 planned nights in the Baltic states was only a short distance further down the gravel “washboard” road, with private beach access (📷4) from a rustic pitch in pine forest.

On Sunday I visited the Totah Fine Arts Festival. The Farmington, New Mexico, region is called "Totah" by the Diné (Navajo People). Totah means "between the waters." Farmington is situated where the Animas, San Juan, and La Plata rivers converge. Here's one of the dancers at the Powwow.

As we emerged from the Trave River aboard the ferry Stena Flavia, we passed by two of Travemünde’s landmarks. On the western bank is the Ältester Leuchtturm, the oldest lighthouse on Germany’s Baltic coast, dating from 1539 CE (📷1). The “Passat” is moored on the eastern bank; this four-masted sailing ship named for a tropical trade wind was built in 1911 & is now a nautical museum (📷2). Since ours was an overnight ferry, we booked a two-berth outside cabin (📷3) replete with an on-suite bathroom (📷4). Nothing flash, but nevertheless clean and all we’d need for 22 hours R&R while someone else does the driving. A bag of food & drink plus a good book seemed the optimal trade for an additional 1,200km & several days on motorway.

A 5.5h drive from Frankfurt to the Ostsee (Baltisches Meer | Baltic Sea) at Niendorf in Schleswig-Holstein brought us to the coast just in time for sundown (📷1). Adjacent is the resort of Timmendorfer Strand, so overwhelmed with domestic tourists it costs 3,50 € just to access the beach. We chose to invest instead in bonbons, a road trip essential* (📷2). Travemünde is another popular seaside resort, where Strandkorb | beach baskets can be observed huddled together on the long sandy beach—presumably for protection against predators (📷3). Situated at the mouth of the Trave, Travemünde is home to Germany's largest ferry port on the Baltic Sea (📷4), offering connections to Scandinavia and the Baltic states. Indeed, from here we ship the van to distant shores.
*Acceptable alternatives include Haribos, or when back in #NZ Pineapple Lumps (Minties were banned following a dental incident). What’s your go-to?
