It’s not always the beautiful sights that catch my eye when I’m travelling. Sometimes it’s beautiful words in ugly places. This ship was docked in the harbour at Ventspils, a key Latvian port. “Pretty Flourish”? I don’t think so.
You’ll probably be glad to hear that the rest of Ventspils was a lot prettier than this ship. It’s the place I met two smiling gentlemen and got to sleep in a room overlooking the main town square, all of which helped list Latvia amongst my favourite destinations.
Love the contrast between the name and the rusy, run-down ship. 🙂
