We are travelling to Europe for 3 months in November and want to visit Latvia. As we backpack and use a Eurail pass, we need help in finding the best and cheapest way of getting there, as our Eurail pass does not cover most Eastern European countries.
We will be getting there by ferry from Stockholm as we get a 50% discount. Getting from Latvia back to a country where Eurail is accepted is our problem.
We would greatly accept any advise that can be given to us.

This is going to be a problem. Rail service in the Baltic states is not great. Another ferry, Eurolines bus (which could easily involve a day or two on the bus) or a cheap flight are about your only options. Check www.airbaltic.com as they have some specials from Riga. Also use www.whichbudget.com to see which budget airlines fly which routes and check our cheap flights forum.
