The opening of the season for our club, Latvian Caravan Club, in 2023 unfolded as a captivating pirate spectacle, transporting us back to the era of bold adventurers. Each participant, being part of this club of travelers, seemed to merge with the images of legendary sea pirates, ready to conquer new horizons and discover unknown shores.
The venue for this unforgettable event was the Siveri camping site, which became a unique base for our maritime adventures. Amidst the cozy pitches and warm atmosphere of the campsite, we gathered to spend an unforgettable weekend together.
This year’s gathering was even more exciting thanks to visits to interesting places in the vicinity. One of them was the Kraslavas Alus brewery, renowned for its traditional Latvian beer varieties. The brewery tour immersed us in the atmosphere of beer production processes, allowing us to delve into the history of brewing art in Latvia. We learned about the creation of each beer variety and enjoyed tasting authentic Latvian beverages.
Another memorable moment of our journey was a tour of the Plater Castle Complex. This historical landmark, situated amidst beautiful forests and lakes, is a true gem of Latvian cultural heritage. The castle was built in the 19th century and served as the residence of the Plater Counts, who played a significant role in the region’s history. During the tour, we learned about the rich history of the castle, its architectural features, and the lives of its former inhabitants.
The party was crowned with a pirate-themed extravaganza, where meticulously crafted costumes and masquerade disguises brought hints of mystery and adventure. There was no room for dull moments at this extraordinary event. From the spectacular fire show, captivating the imagination, to the hot beats of the DJ with retro radio, echoing over the club’s expanse.
It is important to note that since its inception, our club has been rapidly evolving, attracting more and more people to its ranks. We have become and will remain the leader in Latvia for many years to come, and the fact that we are the youngest club in the Baltic countries fills us with determination to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great clubs of Estonia and Lithuania.
Thus, the opening of the 2023 season at Latvian Caravan Club in Siveri camping site was not just an event in our club’s life, but a true celebration for the soul and heart. These were the weekends that will stay with us for years to come, filling our days with joy and inspiration for new travels and discoveries.
