Best Western Hotel Globus Forli

As we drove closer to San Marino, we all started saying, "Did she REALLY say "the NATION" of San Marino?? And that's exactly what it was: It's full title is "The Republic of San Marino". John will do doubt tell you of its history. It's set high on a mountain, with the most glorious view and was yet another treasure chest waiting to be opened for us! It was our nicest hotel by far - VERY upmarket! - and it was exciting to follow the ...

... as each seat filled the novelty soon wore off. It became cramped and uncomfortable... both physically and socially. As soon as we got to Austria however, the stunning views of the huge, steaming mountain forests, and ice blue rivers took our minds off the traveling conditions. On several occasions we couldn't help but gasp and 'wow' at the surroundings (which I felt quite guilty for doing because there was a blind woman in our carriage).

Nevertheless, it is an understatement to ...

There's been some challenging times. Moments when I thought I'd be happy to call 'er quits, say a sweet adieu and head back to the romantic beauty of the Italian villages and cities with all her art, her music and sensual things that Italy seems to personify. Instead I've been sweating my **** off, toiling with physical labour, doing farmyard chores that assault the senses, dealing with brutal heat, I'm covered in cuts, bruises and scraps, and I've been wondering WTF? And WHY am I here ...

... bye to Michelle, I headed to Athens where I spent the night. Not much to report. I don't even have any pictures because my camera stopped working there the whole time in that city! Weird! So I arrived to Roma the next day, found my hostel, and could not wipe off the ear to ear grin from my face! HOLY SH** - I'M IN ROME!!

I think of Roma and I start to swoon. It is the most beautiful, magical, enchanting and sexy city I have ever seen! The food ...

We got to Rimini later that night after Pompeii. It was another 6 hour drive so again we were exhausted. We checked into the hotel and it was perfect. Nicer than the last one we were at. We had booked in advance for the night and the rate was 30eros cheaper than the next night so we (I) thought we would just get there and tell them we wanted another night at the same price. Unfortunately they played me harder than I played them and said they had no availability ...

Tuesday 2nd June. We set off as the sun began to show through and leaving Mugello followed 5 massive trucks with the Moto Gp logo on them so they were off to the next racetrack site, like geeks we videoed this. We headed towards Tavulia and arrived at valentino Rossi's hometown md morning.The small town had 46 flags flying along the main road and we found the Rossi cafe where we had a coffee of which my cappuccino had 46 inscribed in the froth!!The cafe ...

... 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...

Sono ancora a casa, ma per poco. L'11 novembre si parte per il Mozambico. Quando si ritorna non si sa. Non è una vacanza, anche questa volta vado per lavoro. Come al solito vado a fare l'amministrativo di cantiere; il progetto è la strada statale EN102 da Vanduzi a Changara; nel Mozambico centrale, provincia di Manica. Di sicuro c'è solo che Non sarà una passeggiata.
