| We had the heater turned to 16C. In the middle of the night it came on. Unfortunately the fan stayed on which was a bit too much cold air blowing on us. We had foraged for blankets so we were prepared. We fell asleep right away but Jo woke up again at 10:30 PM for a bit. P was up about an hour or so before J. No coffee maker so we did the same approach we had used in Riga - espresso grounds in cup, steeped for a bit - just fine. After a breakfast we finally got out about 12:30. Walking along the shoreline for awhile taking lots of pictures of old structures then a three course set menu lunch at Nenu the Artisan Baker.

| Really quite wonderful. Kept walking in hunt of a bank ATM for cash. Found a big store with a food court above and Arkadia Market below. Bought lots of supplies and were surprised at the check-out that we qualified for a free 6 pack of 2 liter bottled water. Loaded up we carried our heavy loads back to the apartment. |
