Congrats on hitting Country #50 this past year. Latvia is a splendid choice, albeit it is still kind of weird not seeing any border control in that photo. Have you thought about what your next 50 countries will be yet? 🙂
Thanks Ray!
We reckon the next 50 countries might be harder! Africa is a favourite at the moment and some more Asia and Eastern Europe that we haven’t visited! We’re in Africa at the minute so need to make some plans after that!
