I was in Riga and Jurmala last month i hope to go again the Summer to different places there. I previously went in 2007 three times. Do you like it there if you have been and what are your favourite places there?

Going away for 4 days to Riga, wondered if £300 is enough in LVL ???

We're flying in and out of Helsinki, Finland (we got super cheap airfare for summer), and are independent travelers. We'll take a ferry or hydrofoil to Tallin for a few days, then thinking about going to Riga in Latvia and maybe Vilnius in Lithuania. We have 11 days total so Vilnius might have to drop off the list. I'm not familiar at all with these areas. I'm using Lonely Planet and InYourPocket guides, but want to know any can't miss things that might be off the typical tourist path. Not terribly interested in national parks unless there is something outstanding. We would like a night or two at a resort-type area since it's summer and will want a break from sightseeing. We are experienced travelers will rent cars and/or take trains or buses to get around. We don't want to spend more time traveling than we do getting to see stuff. Other suggestions for Finland are welcome too. Thanks for your help!
