Hotel Ixo City of San Marino

... lanes around to find ever more wonderful views, interesting shops eg... guns and rifles in all their glory!! (yep - off the shelf), palace, church and a huge race track where they do trials (we could hear them in the background). It was like a rabbit warren in a way, but going up instead of down.<br><br>We went for an early morning walk to see the sunrise the next day. It was magnificent!<br><br>John <br><br>As I wrote in the title, I had ...

... we were glad when we arrived in Rimini.<br><br>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 ...

... br><br>Am nächsten Morgen - nach Frühstück - Aufbruch nach Assisi - ca. 15 min. Fahrzeit. Da d** Parkplatz am Fuss des B**ges liegt auf dem die Stadt liegt - kurzes "Schlucken" - ab** in 10 min. warn wir beim Dom - dann ar wied** alles ok !<br>Assisi - eine wirklich wund**schöne alte Stadt , in die ich demnächst sich** mal auf läng** zurückkommen w**de. <br>Grab des heiligen ...

... 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...

... and fans poured onto the field. For the next hour I was taking photos with my teammates, trophy&#8217;s, fans, kids, and even signing a few autographs. It was fun, especially having my parents there. But there was the raw emotion I felt from the guys after Bergamo. Edwin jokingly said later that it was like Jimmy Johnson saying back in the 1990&#8217;s beating the 49ers was there Super Bowl and the Bills were just and exhibition game. I would never disrespect the ...

No program for the afternoon so we planned our escape to the beach by the pool. Whilst it is difficult to leave the pool adventure is a foot. Cagli was an option but the beach had the greater pull. about a 45 minute drive to Fano. Denis Hieke Mandy &amp; I set off after lunch but the clouds were set to close in on us as we headed towards the coast.<br><br>Fano is a topical Italian beach resort town. I have never seen so many beach umbrellas and ...

A disgrace I know, but I didn&#8217;t take any pictures in Forli , in fact I almost didn&#8217;t take any NOTICE of Forli at all. A slight distraction in the midst of me preparing last year accounts and my VAT returns before we depart for Asia. I had to get it done and yes I felt like a boring old b******d but when it was all done it was wonderful. The hotel here was nice ...

... photos and memorabilia of Rossi&#8217;s career and along with the other geeks we checked it all out. Across the road was the Official Rossi Fan Club headquarters and we strolled in to see his bike which he won the 125&#8217;s on and lots of career photos. We joined the fan club for 40 Euros each which gave us a t-shirt,cap and bumbag and keyring. The people there also gave us posters hearing we had come from Australia and been to the races. We were stoked ...

... il mio italiano.<br>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.<br>Milano, la grigia città secondo molti, la città più brutta di Italia, per me era incredibile...<br><br>

... go out into town and we found a kareoke bar... Alison, you would have loved it! The difference was that it was with a live guitarist who would play along with the recorded track. I decided to sing with two other girls and we sang "It's my life" by Bon Jovi (the Austalians were obsessed with him!) The bus ride back home was interesting- our tour guide taught us our first Italian song, "Ciao bella, ciao," which we sang with much enthusiasm the remainder of the ...
