On the way to Turaida (in Sigulda)

Cable car (gondola) ride over the river to the Turaida side. We walked here from the Old Sigulda castle. Gio was fascinated by the cable ride. He loved looking everywhere.

From the cable car drop off we walked to the next castle, up at Turaida. At first it was a pretty walk, as you can see. After this, we had to walk beside a busy road. Not fun. We weren't too happy about that.

But, we got to see this huge tower and even go up to the top! One side of this tower is 5 meters thick! They really wanted to make sure they were well protected.

This is inside the castle complex. This castle dates from the 15th century.
