Blogs from Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, Europe - page 2

After a long travel from Lithuania, finally we reached Italy. My purpose was to visit Rimini. Rimini is a really artistic city with ancient Roman and Renaissanse monuments, this city is the hometown for well-known film director Federico Fellini. When I arrived in this city, I noticed, what it's is really vibrant. A lot of people, lights and sounds. The city itself is really diverse, because in daytime Rimini is peaceful and silent place, but at night Rimini shows the other side. In the daytime I enjoy the spellbinding view of Rimini. Firsly, I visit Malatesta Temple. It was built in around 1450, by Leon Battista Alberti. I really interested in Romanesque style, so it was nice to visit one more building built in this style. Another object I visited was The Arch of Augustus. It ... read more

Tomorrow is a big travelling day so I won’t actually be doing anything apart from sitting on trains and trying to get my heavy luggage on and off trains so I thought I would do my whole Italian adventure in one blog…mainly because this has been the relaxing part of my holiday and therefore has mainly been me sitting on my backside on the beach or by the pool. However, I’m getting ahead of myself. Last Wednesday, 31st July arrived in Milan and again thanked my lucky stars that a cock up by the airline at one point made me arrive at Linate rather than the more famous Malpensa airport. I always fly to Linate now as the airport bus is 5 euros to the central station and takes 2 minutes as opposed to the train ... read more

(wrote this yesterday, but just got the Internet working!) Buenjourno! What a week it's been. Last I wrote I was in Florence taking an easy day as I was not quiet feeling 100%. I can happily report I got over whatever that was quickly and so enough of that! The day after the last blog post I hopped on a train heading to Rome to go and see Papa Francesco for Easter weekend. Upon arriving in Rome, I met up with some fellow travelers from the previous hostel that just so happened to be staying at the same hostel in Rome. And clarify what I mean by "hostel" I mean campground outside of Rome. This is the result of being cheap and booking late for Easter weekend. (more on this later) First day in Rome was ... read more

Geo: 44.0591, 12.5631 GÜN 23 GÜNLERDEN CUMA: Sabah 07:30 da yoldayım.. Heyecanlıyım zira MIO 'ya güvenip yola çıktım… Ne derse yapıyorum.. İkinci GPS Nermin ( garmin ) de devrede ..o da bolca saçmalıyor…ama dinleyeni yok… Kardeşim bu MIO bin defa bedelini ödedi.. Hiç tık demeden ve aksatmadan, bir seferde beni Rimini sahiline getirdi.. Yıllar önce Ayşeciğimle kaldığımız kamptan eser yok… Güzelim arazi ,yapsatçıların ellerinden kurtulamamış ve apartman haline dönüşmüş.. Kamp yeri konusunda danıştım. Şehre 2 km mesafede bir kamptan söz ediyorlar... Gel gelelim Rimini,vaktiyle bizim bıraktığımız Rimini değil... çok gelişmiş ve neredeyse tüm yollar tek istikamet olmuş .. Sahilden gitmek mümkün değil… İstememekle beraber Rimini'nin içine girip döndüm.. Bir y... read more

This part of the trip was one of my favourites. Rimini is a party town but full of Germans, a bit like their version of Magaluf or somewhere British young people go. Our hostel called the Jammin party hostel lived up to it's name. When we arrived we went down to the beach and just sat looking out to the sea as this was our first time at a beach resort. That night we decided to go to bed early, the German girls in our room were going out and their male friends were there. A while after they left the boys burst back into the room and demanded that Ally kiss them!!! She didn´t luckily and since then we have tried to stay away from groups of German boys. The next day we hired sun ... read more
