Telstar Rimini

... heard of San Marino but as Sue mentioned it is an independent state named after a Christian stonemason Marinus from around 300 when he hid in the mountain peaks to avoid persecution by the Romans and started a community there. It must have been a case of too small a fish to worry about as today, the mountain state exists as the 5th smallest country in the world. The buildings and scenery were breathtaking. Well worth the long bus ride to get there

We are on our last day in Rimini, and we're both quite glad of it. Not that we haven't had a good time (though the hostel has been a bit rubbish). <br><br>The journey down here from Munich was a real slog! It took 8 hours, though that didn't really bother us too much. 8 hours of discomfort on a cramped Italian train however, that was what made it difficult. It was a compartment style train (6 seat per compartment, 3 on each side facing each other) which seemed great when we first sat down ...

... 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 ...

... to check in the morning. Of course morning came and they had one room left but couldn't do it for any lease than 30euros more than the orignally wanted. Son instead of saving 30 we spent an extra 30 - oh well to quote Role Models don't ********* a *********ter...hillarous movie (and only one we've seen in months) by the way. Next day we toured all around Rimini which we expected to be like a jazzed up Miami but actually had a cool historic center and eclectic ...

... to 11 the big linebacker who plays a lot of slot and tight end. Reggie is on the coverage and the ball was high. 11 leaps up and catches it, leaving himself very exposed, while Reggie knife&#8217;s through 11 legs, flipping him upside down. 11 comes crashing back to earth upside down, the ball bounces out of his grasp, the crowd goes crazy and we are celebrating Reggie&#8217;s play. Except that bizarrely the referee&#8217;s have ruled that somehow it was a catch. It ...

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>

... 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>

(Audrye) Yawn, stretch, sit up... another day-another place. We had taken the night train which had left at 1 in the morning and arrived a bit before 6:00 AM. The train rolled into the station and we rolled off of the train to find another connecting train that we had to take to our destination. I would tell you all about that train station if only I could remember, but unfortunately that time in the morning is a fog in my memory bank as I had only gotten five hours ...
