(Val) Wow, what a treat; our first hotel that included breakfast. It was a beautifully set table with a plate overflowing with packets of butter, jams, honey and yes, even Nutella. We each had a warm croissant awaiting us on our plate and a yogurt. The cappuccino was huge and frothy. The only thing it was lacking was cheese (but I guess we have had our share of that on this trip). It was a total sugar/carb pig-out! We got on the bus for San Marino stuffed. It was a winding ride and a bit much for Audrye and me, but we survived. San Marino (the third smallest country behind Morocco and the Vatican) is built around a fortress surrounded mountain top. The view from the top was absolutely breathtaking! We leisurely strolled around the city of San Marino at the top for 2 ½ hours and returned to our wonderful hotel in Rimini. We updated the Website, rested, snacked and went down to the beach (on the Adriatic Sea), but it was too chilly to hang out today so we returned to the table outside our hotel to play cards. We also called about the ship to Greece and it all looks good to be on the ship tomorrow night at 7 pm and arrive at 5 pm the next day - another new country for all of us.

Hey Krystal I think your tall enough you don't have to stand on the curb. I hope your cruise to Greece was smooth sailing for Val and Audrye's sake(sea sickness is not fun) San Marino looks beautiful. Have fun in Greece. :-)
Love Anita

It sounds like you are having a great trip! I like the picture with two jars of nutella--one on top of the other.! San Marino sounds wonderful! Can't wait to hear about Greece!
