Thursday 14th

Blue skies and looks like a good day. Glenn and family must be on way to Sydney and Dubbo zoo today!
Left the Hotel Augustea and pulled out suitcases down to the station to catch the Eurostar to Ancona, where we changed trains for Rimini. Fascinating ride through Rome suburbs as we headed east into lovely countryside. Comfortable train travelling 1st class. Snow still on the mountains but starting to melt in the warm sun. The Rimini line runs along the ocean which is lovely blue green - Adriatic but no surfing for sure. Suitable for kids swimming! We arrived in Rimini about 3pm and walked to the Napoleon hotel not far from the station.
Just for those who had misgivings about our purchase of an emersion heater - one hotel in 5 has had tea making facilities so far and that was KL. Hotels range from 2 and half star to 4 star. Needless to say we have enjoyed out tea/coffee.

Plenty of rain and cold in Rimini but took a stroll around - old buildings with narrow roads, mad drivers. Had a phone call from Terzo checking we were there

You certainly seem to be living the high life...we are back from our holiday in 1 piece, no civic receptions for us, just a lovely dinner with Ally & Kerri (&John)! English sunning themselves is one of my summer memories of London! Keep having fun....
Oh and could you please put day/dates on your posts, when you write them all on 1 day they all go under the date of writing.
