Hotel Villa Giardi City of San Marino

Sue<br><br>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).<br><br>Nevertheless, it is an understatement to ...

... front. The beach is broken into sections each section has a restaurant, sporting stuff (basketball hoops, Volleyball, Gyms, etc.) lounge chairs and umbrellas. Some even have an outdoor gym. The beach is actually sand, which is a novelty for Italy. We picked up some of the free bikes from the hotel and rode all around the city. I stopped and had a quick swim, Outside of the fact both of our asses were completely numb and bruised afterwards (not the best bikes ...

... him down in bounds, which kept the clock running. On the final play of the game, they threw a jump ball to 2, who had it for a second then collided with a couple Giants and lost the ball as he fell to the ground in the end zone.<br><br>The game was over, the Bolzano Giants were Super Bowl Champions. Reggie who was in at safety, fell to the ground with a smile on his face. Finally after ten years, he had won it all. I kneeled over him, congratulating him while ...

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 ...

We left for Urbino after breakfast for a quick trip (Birth place of Raffaello - painter) of course coffee &amp; gelati was part of our plans with some sights thrown in.<br><br>Nice place and worth the trip. No time to view the museo a bit of a shame as there is a section with Rafael.<br><br>We had some great views going over the mountains going to/from Urbino. Mandy is handling driving the larger car just fine.<br><br>Ciao<br>

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 ...

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.<br>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.<br>Dopo molti anni, il 2007, ho preso la decisione di andare per un paio di mesi a Milano per ...

... to we could have bought like a zillion Prada bags and D&G sunglasses. Instead, we bought some other stuff we can't mention because some of it is for some of you guys. Anyway, we bartered and shopped and got visually accosted in the market. It was fun. We also saw the Duomo, which was beautiful. We saw where Dante was baptized, which is pretty cool. We also saw a bunch of stuff that I'm sure Michaelangelo saw 'cause he grew up there. Along with ...
