Xmas Baltics Tour 2007

Before anything, I should start this post with some simple but innevitable words...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

So yes, this post is to tell you a little about my last Christmas (the 4th Christmas I have had abroad so far).

It was very nice, and also very intense!

A small group of foreigners (5 in total) we decided to take advantage of the fact that the Baltic countries joined the Schengen Agreement an thanks to this, there is no more passport border control between these countries and many other in Europe.

From bottom to the right:
Mustafa Alagöz - Turkey, Carlos Botero - Venezuela, Gabriel Rico - Bolivia,
Ankur Dhami - India, Olga Kuznetsova - Ubekistan

So, on the evening of the 21st of December (the same day when the Baltics joined Schengen) we took a bus to Riga, Latvia.

Curriosly, that was Mustafa's Birthday present :-) This was the first of many new trips he will be able to enjoy now! Thank you Schengen!!!
