A day trip to the Republic of San Marino
Jun 7, 2008 (43 photos) A few weeks ago I visited the small country of San Marino. The second smallest country in the world. In the morning when I arrived the hilltop of the old town was shrouded in clouds and I couldn't see a thing! When I arrived it felt like I was stuck in a ... |

Italy, Part II

Fog on the ramparts, head in the clouds
Jun 7, 2007 ... again, Mayu! Today's little trip out brings me to one of Europe's little oddity countries - the mini-state of San Marino. Essentially Italy (as it's completely swallowed up within Emilia-Romagna), the tiny republic exists largely because of a fluke of ... |
Bus Tour - Day 5
Jun 22, 2007 (3 photos) ... whatever you like. The Taser and Mace cracked me up though - both products had old ladies on the packaging promoting them as safety products. San Marino is almost as famous for its view as it is for its pasta, so after a great lunch that took in both, we ... |

Relishing the Republic of San Marino
Oct 4, 2008 (39 photos) Set high up on a mountain top, San Marino is not quite what we expected - no grandeur, just the usual McDonalds and Renault garages - that is until you hit the top. What a staggering change, beauty personified with breathtaking views, and a quaint if not ... |
