Rimini Travel Blogs

Background: Italy became a nation-state in 1861 when the city-states of the peninsula, along with Sardinia and Sicily, were united under King Victor EMMANUEL II. An era of parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic revival followed. Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC). It has been at the forefront of European economic and political unification, joining the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent problems include illegal immigration, organized crime, corruption, high unemployment, sluggish economic growth, and the low incomes and technical standards of southern Italy compared with the prosperous north.

Well its been forever since I've written and as most of you know, I'm actually home in California and have been for about a week. But I'd like to continue to write about my experience now that I have the time and hopefully it will express a more accurate depiction of the time that I had in Italy... because I've noticed that describing it to my family and friends after being home... I've been so happy to be home that its created this natural feeling of dislike for Italy when really I had some truly awesome times and seeing the Italy [View Full Entry]

Alte Bricke im Luzern

Yo, Have to say that I've gotten a bit sloppy during the past couple weeks with updating the blog and connecting to the net in general. The reason behind it is that I've delved into the wild nature of Alps where I've found friends, who don't like the net so much and their influence forced me to forget about it for a while. The pics will tell you more than I can describe verbally. Right now I'm in Rimini, a touristic Italian city on the Adriatic coast. I've been here once, when I was still a young boy. Arrived yesterday in [View Full Entry]

Pontremoli to Cattolica Europe » Italy » Emilia-Romagna » Rimini

Cattolica harbour

Not Rimini, but Cattolica is not in the database. I, Hilary, have done two stupid things already. Well, 2 stupid things of note. Last night, after eating in the excellent restaurant Norina (where we ate last time we were in Pontremoli) we took a glass bottle of water in the bag with us. We also had the Eee PC in there. I put the bag down in a bar and broke the bottle but Ashley had wrapped the Eee well so my stupidity did no real damage. There was lots of water in the square as it poured and poured with [View Full Entry]

Rimin Beach

Who haven't read something about Italy or seen something from Italy or tasted something from Italy??? Very few people in the world can say they never have done one of the three things. So do you still wonder why I got a fascination and a urge for visiting this country. The summer of 2007 we headed for Rimini a small city at the east coast of Italy. It lays in the county of Emilia Romagna the land of the Ferrari and the Jet setter city of Italy. Not fare from Croatia, Venice, Bologna, San Marino and so on. On must do [View Full Entry]

Itttaallliiannnooo ! Europe » Italy » Emilia-Romagna » Rimini

witamy w Italii

Więc ... 4 sierpnia 2008 roku rozpoczeła się moja przygoda z piękną Italią. Tak, Włochy to naprawdę bardzo piekny kraj o bardzo bogatej kulturze, z miłymi luźmi, dobrym jedzeniem i piekną pogodą! Do Gatteo a Mare przyjechaliśmy samochodem bo to najlepszy środek lokomocj po Europie. Ze Świnoujścia jechaliśmy tam niecałe dwa dni, ale przy okazji zwiedziliśmy też stolicę Czech oraz znaczną część Austrii. Lecz i tak najgorsze podczas podróży były korki w samych W&# [View Full Entry]

Tightening the valve

It turned out we were fortunate to have had to get the 10:30 pm ferry as, by the time we left Igoumenitsa (right on time) the 20:30 Superfast ferry had not yet arrived. The Anek lines ferry was OK. Ashley had to drive the bike down two very steep ramps into the bowels of the boat then back up the ramps to get off. He says it's surprisingly easy if you have confidence. He rode on and off in convoy with a load of bikers and that was good. We slept very well. I think it's some combination of darkness, quietness [View Full Entry]

Its one of those cosmic twists of fate that allowed me to make this pilgrimage. to bring the saga of cristain and i full circle, and to begin a new chapter. i wish very much to return here. but for now, i have other fish to fry.
