Hotel Villa Bianca Rimini

... 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.

We went for an early morning walk to see the sunrise the next day. It was magnificent!

... Dave is having a lot more success at tanning than me.

So the time has come to move on again. Tomorrow we are getting the morning train to Venice, hopefully giving us the afternoon to look around and have some dinner before getting the night train to Budapest. It will be our first experience of a sleeper train and we have heard mixed reviews. Still, we are both excited and can't wait to get to Hungary... a step closer to Moscow!

Love!

Amy and Dave xx

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 ...

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 ...

... a post. I tell Reggie to line up in the backfield with me then to, “swing left and kind of hangout.” My hope was that I’d be able to hold the ball, buy time look down the field to the right then get the ball to Reggie. We had 65 yards to cover and one play to do it. I can’t throw it that far, and we haven’t had a pass play that long all season. Reggie is the one guy who can score from 65 yards out, so he is my only realistic possibility ...

... the start. It was every show, not just the odd one. They were truly amazing and probably the best we’ve had yet. I imagine the finale was what it must be like at a rock concert - they rushed down the front dancing and screaming...all for me of course...and the rush it gave was brilliant.

Thank you so much Forli..you were great!

But no photos...sorry!

... the track prices were so high for the gear and we got it for joining the fan club. From here we went to the town of Rimini and tried to find the Italian National motorcycle Museum. The GPS had us in the area but we couldn’t find it , even asking around was fruitless so we drove around the local airport side road amongst farm houses and came upon it tucked up a side road with very little signage. The man was heading out for lunch but also told us ...

Mi sono innamorata di Italia quando ero molto piccola e mio cugino, che studiava medicina a Siena, mi ha dato un album di litfiba. Come passavano gli anni ho preso diversi corsi d'italiano in una prova di imparare la lingua.
Quando avevo 15 anni i miei genitori hanno deciso che facciamo il giro di Italia. Firenze era la citta che ha rubato i miei impressioni.
Dopo molti anni, il 2007, ho preso la decisione di andare per un paio di mesi a Milano per ...

... given us almost no helpful information, the maps have no names on the streets, and the guy dissed Lake Como. How can we trust him? We blundered our way onto the right bus, only to have a crowd of really stoned boys get on almost immediately afterward to surround us in a little clump. They kept trying to talk to us, but we kept looking around and watching the signs and pretending it was perfectly *normal* to be surrounded by a clot of babbling fools in ...
