... 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 ...

... getting our hands dirty. The farm is completely self-sufficient. Everything is used, nothing is wasted. I've learned a lot, I must say!

Much time is spent in food preparation. The majority of our meals come from the farm. They're fresh, organic and gorgeous! We eat lunch and dinner together - the 4 from the family and up to 5 helpers. Although the pastas and gelato is not so great for the bikini body, after a hard days' work, the meal is much appreciated and always so tasty ...

... to spend 30 seconds looking at each display, it would take you 7 years to get through it the Vatican's collection? Everything I saw was as you would imagine... breathtaking!

Anyway - met some Kiwi's and Aussies who were touring Europe in a camper van and spent the rest of the day with them. They were so fun so I forewent my hostel stay and opted to camp with my new friends in the outskirts of the city. They have offered me a ride up to Munich after ...

... 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 Junior should both be put on death row for the things they have done. I told her I understood why she could want that for Junior but why Senior? She said that she thinks they were in together on a conspiracy to knock down the Twin Towers to allow them to do the things that Junior was able to do. She told me that those who make war can not make peace. Coming from a woman who lived through and survived Nazism and fascism, clichéd as those type of ...

... photos and memorabilia of Rossi’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’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 ...

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 ...

... My intentions were good - save a few dollars and catch the cheaper and slightly slower train, but instead I was stuck a few hours late and due to pay some extra cash to Trenitalia for the priviledge. Bugger it I thought. The train conductor came to me. As he didn't speak English, I took advantage by babbling in English continuously for minutes - enough for him to look at me blankly, until he just walked away. The extra fiver was safely still in my pocket.

... particular church i enjoyed was the Basilica Di San Vitale. It was awesome because of its dramatic light and great mosaics. Incredible. The baptistry was cool too. We had some pizza for lunch and took the rest at the hotel. We then took off for the Mausoleum. It was cool due to the echo factor. After a few churches we went for some beers and called it a night.
