WE’RE BACK - COASTAL ITALY BY TRAIN

Ten days in Rimini was risky as we knew nothing about it but a really good choice! We like old towns, usually known as a Vecchio, and this one was great. Our Airbnb was in the middle of the old town right on a Piazza with many side roads. Lots of shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafés and churches everywhere! Oh the bells!! Café downstairs, coffee and croissants for breakfast, filled with…you name it. We only indulged a few times.We walked miles everyday. We crossed bridges and went in and out of the old town’s walls and arches and eventually found the grocery markets. One day we decided to walk to the Rimini beaches. GPS said 25 minutes but it easily took us over an hour.  Later took a taxi home which only took maybe 4 minutes. Tip… walking GPS in old towns is not to be trusted.

 A little about Venice. It’s been twenty years since Michael and I were in Venice on our honeymoon. It must have been cleaner or love was blind. This time it was so crowded and very dirty. Disappointing.  Like I said, a little bit about Venice. Here are some pictures of the nicer side of Venice I was able to catch. Enjoy!
