Messing around in boats

In those touristy cities with water, the usual sightseeing boat trip is by a glass roofed boat crammed with people. In Riga they have opted for the opposite. Here the trip is on tiny old wooden river boats that take no more than 20 people at a squeeze. As this is the end of the tourist season, there were just 10 people on the boat, The Darling (built in 1907).  The hour long trip followed the old city moat and then out on to the wide Daugava River.
