In the morning I had a short walk to the DM and the Dancing House and walked back to the apartment. We packed our things, called the cab and went to airport. It seemed that we went there with plenty of time left, but still the boarding started before all of our group made it out of the toilet. Since we didn't have any time to eat in the airport, we ordered few croissants. In the menu they had those lovely fluffy coissants filled with ham and cheddar. So I shared with you the picture of expectation and of what we got. Otherwise the flight was uneventful, until there was a light sidewind when landing that made the plane flap from side to side like the urban pigeons. While Gerli was getting somewhat pale, Saskia was clapping her hands and voiced her delight verbally. Obviously it's a girl who appreciates the rollercoasters.
We drove to Jurmala and moved into our "two-stories" hotel. Turned out that what I assumed was second floor from pictures, was balcony and the stairs to it. We had quick snack in Lido next to our hotel, called the water park to get it confirmed that they are open and made our way there. We parked in the completely empty parking lot (assumed that everyone else was enjoying the great weather on the beach) and went in. Inside it became clear that yes, they are open, but the outside area and all the slides are closed and for yet the full price (which wasn't cheap at all) we can use all the pools (yep, all three of them), kids area and SPA (saunas and two jacuzzi). Since Gerli had sold the water park to Saskia earlier like the mother of all other waterparks, we clearly couldn't just pick up our bikinis and go to hotel and enjoy sunset on our balcony. We went in and spent the next 1,5 hours there almost alone, besides us there was one Estonian family, one local couple and few life guards. At least there were two little slides on kids area and I started to use one in rotation with Robyn and Saskia. The fun lasted until a lifeguard noticed it and told me that as an adult I'm not allowed to use it. Oh, well. We went to the wave pool that had some railings on the sides and Robyn swam to those to hold on, while the waves are coming out. Again, the lifeguard whistled and Robyn was forced to let go the railings. Gerli wasn't all too happy to share the pool with so many criminals.
We walked some in the beach, watched the sunset and went back to Lido for dinner. We had almost the same amount of food than earlier, but instead of 20 EUR like earlier the bill was 30 EUR. Checking the bill it turned out that the dry steak Robyn took, was 12.90 piece. And they very cleverly had put the price tag further away from all the other price tags.
Back in the room, we smelled that Ajax flower odour again, but since we didn't manage to find any "air-freshener" anywhere, we just assumed that they had cleaned the room with Ajax and went to bed. However, every now and then the smell got stronger. Me and Gerli got out of the beds and smelled basically all the walls and suspicious places until finally found the plugged in "air-freshener" behind my bed. I unplugged it and just to be sure, threw it outside on the balcony.
