Dear All Saluti di nuovo! This is my second and final entry on my mini-trip in February, and will relate my time in gorgeous little San Marino, sandwiched in between my time in Rimini and Bologna. And my goodness, what an amazing place this little country is! It is the fifth smallest country in the world, and the third smallest in Europe after the Vatican and Monaco. Still, it's a bit bigger than... Read Full Entry

I visited San Marino in 2011
I was in San Marino in 2011. I clearly remember the dramatic views from the top of the cliff and how the town and everything seemed to be perched on that little mountain top. It was a nice place to visit but I don't think I will ever go back. I myself have one European microstate left to visit - Andorra. /Ake

Microstates
Yes, I guess once you've been to a microstate once, there's not much else to see if you go again. Andorra is a comparative biggie I think, about eight times the size of San Marino.

A little dotty
I love how you make time to travel and see the world. I can appreciate the "a little dotty" woman, and know that I would have enjoyed time with her as well. This sounded like a great trip, and I am glad you knew that you saw it.

A Little Dotty
Thanks Brendan! I guess we're all a bit dotty deep down. Maybe when you get to a certain age, you stop seeing the point of hiding it, lol! Thanks for reading and commenting. I'm certainly making the most of my travels now after these last few years. As someone once said, "so much to see, so little time"!

Small but beautiful
Indeed, I think you would very much enjoy a visit to San Marino if you're in the area again - a fascinating and really quite stunning little place. I'd highly recommend not going in the tourist summer season, and staying at least one night, to escape the other tourists and experience this really unique country more serenely. Thanks for reading and commenting 😊

What a delightful country, thanks for sharing. Shame about the public transport issues, but imagine you're use to it 😂 glad you're ok from your fall.

San Marino
Thanks Alan! It is indeed a delightful little country, good way to describe it! Indeed, I guess I am a bit used to public transport issues, lol! Thank you, the fall wasn't too bad at least.
