So, here's our last blog post about our time in Latvia - sorry it's a few days late, real life seemed to take over!!
Monday found us packing, last minute shopping, repacking to fit everything into our bags, and then finally in a place called The Hedgehog In the Fog (named after a very bizarre Latvian cartoon!) for a final meal and catch up with our friends. Thank you to everybody who turned up to say goodbye, and a special thank you for our gifts - you should have heard the squeal when we were presented with Latvian neckers!! We were all sad to say goodbye to our new friends but we know we'll see you again :-)
Tuesday, we milled about in the hostel for the morning, along with some REALLY last minute shopping (who can resist a hat scarf?!) and then headed to the airport.
At 4.33pm GMT Tuesday, Team Latvia landed on UK soil. We're pretty confident we can say that we had one of the best arrivals a GOLD team has ever had - landing early, collecting baggage smoothly, and well, let's just say it was all pretty perfect! Alice was asked the all important question - were we the best GOLD team ever? - She said yes!!
That's all for now - we have reports to write, and our debrief in December, but mostly, that is our GOLD project over. Thank you all once again for your support throughout the last year, whether that was emotional, physical or financial - we couldn't have done it without you, and whilst there is nothing of substance to view from our efforts, we feel positive about our project! We want to wish next years team all the luck in the world, and to LSGCO, you have so much potential, keep working to become whatever you want to become!
GOLD Love,
Team Latvia 2014 x
