Alexia Palace Hotel Residence Cesenatico

... heard of San Marino but as Sue mentioned it is an independent state named after a Christian stonemason Marinus from around 300 when he hid in the mountain peaks to avoid persecution by the Romans and started a community there. It must have been a case of too small a fish to worry about as today, the mountain state exists as the 5th smallest country in the world. The buildings and scenery were breathtaking. Well worth the long bus ride to get there

... we were glad when we arrived in Rimini.

It rained the first few days we were here, but the past 2 days of sunshine have made up for it! Our hostel has great rooms but a really awful atmosphere, so we were so glad when the sun came out and we could spend all day at the beach, or in the town. Relaxing in the sun is just what we've needed! I'm still embarrassingly white though. I'd even call it offensively white. It's going to take more than 2 days of sun to bring me even to human ...

... lustige Begebenheiten hab ich davon meinen Damen **zählt - und die haben ziemlichen Spass dabei gehabt .... grrrrr :-( ;-) :-)

Haben dann ab** auf einen Aufenthalt in C**via v**zichtet und uns am Campingplatz in Cesenatico einquarti**t.

Leck** Abendessen im Restaurant am Platz ( Sepiaspiesse für Sarah ) - Pasta für Hannah - und nach ein** 3/4 Stunde Calzone für Paps :-)

... the world) it was one of the more enjoyable and relaxing days we have had. Also pretty funny was when we went grocery shopping they actually had their own vats of wine in the store but funnier than that was when Jen got caught by the armed security gaurd taking a photo and he started ranting in Italian at her. Not much else to say just a real different kind of beach town that has a historic center. Very relaxing and fun. Now it is off to Verona the next morning...

Ravenna was somewhere Matt had insisted we visit, so I included it as a day trip in our packed itinerary. Little did I realise this would be the highlight of our trip. Ravenna is possibly the only place on earth where you can visit 8 UN World Heritage sites in less than a day (although we unfortunately only managed 7, as one was closed for renovations).

Home to the oldest and best ...

... onside kick and recovered it. I was suddenly nervous.

But again, they slowly marched down the field, eventually getting stopped on Juliana’s sack and turned the ball over to us. We picked a couple first down’s on the strength of Reggie and my legs. Eventually at Lazio’s 35 it was fourth and 4 and I tried to hard count. It looked as is Lazio jumped, so our center Fabio correctly snapped the ball to me. I was promptly tackled, which wasn’t ...

... the staff were really friendly and helpful. The Theatre was weird, kind of in the middle of nowhere, a large basketball arena attached to some other massive, factory like buildings pretty ugly. The one big thing that really did stand out here were the audiences. It was like they were just waiting, nay longing, to be entertained and were clapping, laughing and dancing ...

... top bunk so I wouldn’t be bothered by Cookie their dog, during the night. I obediently climbed up and started to lay down when the bunk gave way and I went crashing down onto the lower bunk. I was a bit shocked, but all right, and then just stuck between the wall and the upper mattress that had fallen with me. Ciba almost died of a laughter-induced heart attacked and Chrstina was snapping photos. The scene was made worse as Alex and Forlai came into ...

... as the bikes were not fully restored and were housed in a 2 level building on what seemed to be this mans home land. The smell of oil covered the place and we saw some very old bikes including Guzzis. Wayne loved it as the bikes were in original conditions , cleaned but not restored. While we there someone turned up and the man turned him away saying the museum was closed and when he saw us the man said we had a special entry because we were from ...

... il mio italiano.
Le cose più belle sono successe in questo viaggio. Ho conosciuto gente dal tutto il mondo e ho fatto amici veramente di cuore. Al corso italiano che andavo ho conosciuto l'amore della mia vita e la persona migliore per girare il mondo. Ho cominciato a viaggiare molto purtoppo finora solo in Europa ma con la intenzione di andare dappertutto.
Milano, la grigia città secondo molti, la città più brutta di Italia, per me era incredibile...
