Unplanned holidays

Few weeks ago I received a call from one of my coworker, whose responsibility is Human Resource issues. And she told me severely, that I had to take out my last two vacation weeks of last year, otherwise they will disappear. There was pretty active time in work, I and other my companion were deep in our tasks. But as I didn’t planned to drive to the foreign countries, I promise to help him with tasks through my home internet.

Now I know how feels unemployment when he sit home and do nothing, because in first week I sat like a bump on a log, do nothing but read some books. Next week Elza encourage me to plan a trip around somewhere in Latvia. We decided to go to Latgale for three days. I truly wanted to make a drive with bicycles around some lakes in Latgale, so I decided to make an investment and bought bicycle for Elza.
Our trip started from Vecpiebalga to Gaiziņkalns, Cesvaine, Varakļāni, Rēzekne, Rāznas lake. Then we stayed in one rest home called “Ezerkrasti” situated at shore of the Rāznas lake. I really suggest this place to stay. We get lucky, no one reserved any room there, maybe because there was middle of the week. We had been settled in one big empty house. That costs for us 24 lats including breakfast. Next day our trip went through Mākoņkalns, Dagda, Auleja. In Auleja we had planned to took a ride with bicycles around different lakes including Drīdzis who is deepest in the Latvia. After exhausting ride we went to Krāslava and climbed up to few towers with beautiful sight to “Daugavs loki”. Third day had been spent in Daugavpils, and we took a tour around city with bicycles. Elza manage to consecrated her new bike with horrible crash. But she is OK now and hope she was able to ride again this Sunday.
Next day I had to participate in competitions “Zelta keda”. Finally I have caught a feeling of running, no stress just excitement of every kilometer. I was able to keep smooth, even speed through the course, and was manage to build up speed in last 3 km.

Anyone who has not heard about Lattelecom home complect – Optical internet + Digital TV, I suggest. Only 15 Lats (if you accept contract for 24 month) and you got 50 Mbit Optical Internet, and TV pack with more than 30 channels, and what is more important. It’s possible to store any kind of TV program you want. 3 channels (LNT, TV1, TV7) provide TV archive, which means you can rewind any program or movie you want during last week and watch it without any commercials.
