Hotel Bagli Rimini

Sue

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 ...

... 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!

... lustige Begebenheiten hab ich davon meinen Damen **zählt - und die haben ziemlichen Spass dabei gehabt .... grrrrr :-( ;-) :-)

Haben dann ab** auf einen Aufenthalt in C**via v**zichtet und uns am Campingplatz in Cesenatico einquarti**t.

Leck** Abendessen im Restaurant am Platz ( Sepiaspiesse für Sarah ) - Pasta für Hannah - und nach ein** 3/4 Stunde Calzone für Paps :-)

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 ...

... getting us in the end zone from 65 yards out in 4 seconds.

I take the shotgun snap and drop straight back, hoping to suck the right defensive end inside my right tackle so I can roll outside the pocket and break contain. He takes the bait, I bobbed 7 yards deep in the pocket, paused for a moment, drew the inside rush, then sprinted out to the right. Diego and the other lineman wash their guys past me and I step up near the line of scrimmage outside the pocket on ...

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 & I set off after lunch but the clouds were set to close in on us as we headed towards the coast.

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 & gelati was part of our plans with some sights thrown in.

Nice place and worth the trip. No time to view the museo a bit of a shame as there is a section with Rafael.

We had some great views going over the mountains going to/from Urbino. Mandy is handling driving the larger car just fine.

We arrived in Ca Le Soure for our one week yoga retreat. I wasn't looking forward to it with my hip and back issues. The place is on top of a hill surrounded by fields of wheat & grape vines and olive groves. We also found a forest of oaks where they harvest black truffles.

The accommodation is cottage style and comfy, a separate building for breakfast, lunch & dinner all vegetarian style food and very tasty - difficult not to go back for seconds as there is ...

... Naturally we got a t-shirt and the man showed us then his own garage with bikes he owned which was really special. He invited us for coffee but we had to get moving on. What a top day we had. Heading north we finally left the lowlands and reached the Dolomite mountains and camped by a lovely lake, Lake Garda. The lake is famous for windsurfing most of the year and the campsite catered for them. The views were beautiful of the soaring mountains behind 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 ...
