• Still raining in Rimini

    19 September 2024, Itali ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Woke this morning to the delightful noise of lots more rain! I stayed in bed until 08.30 and then trotted off to breakfast. It's not a happy event. The few people who rock up look really fed up, and the offerings for breakfast appear to have given up attempting to be appetising. Cold fried eggs are really not.....
    After a breakfast of boiled egg rolls and some sort of collapsing cake, I gave up and came back to have a shower and put clean clothes on. I spent a while researching where to go next without encountering any alarms and excursions caused by Storm Boris! Not easy. I had planned to visit Ravenna on Saturday, but it is flooded out, so not a chance.
    I did discover there is a roman surgeon's house and other buildings in this terrible place. There are lots of mosaic to see, so I will hunt it down tomorrow or Saturday.
    Around 12.30 the rain stopped, so on with the anorak and off I went.
    I walked away from Rimini along the coast road, mostly with umbrella up as it started raining again. I persevered and eventually came across a pleasant restaurant where I didnt have to eat pizza. I had chicken escalope and chips!!🤣
    I continued on my way, but as there was no end to this road, I crossed to the 'esplanade' and started the walk back. A more pleasant choice, as you can see from the pics. In all, I walked for about 2.5 hours. It only started raining again as I got back to the hotel.
    I have spent ages sorting out where next, but I shall keep it as a surprise. I will most likely be more surprised if it all works.
    It must be time now for a cup of coffee and some chocolate before bed.
    I hope you like the video. The church you can see is closed up. I'm not sure if it's being renovated inside, but I can't get in!
    You can see me all ready for a brisk walk along the Adriatic coast. A mad woman with pigeons on her head, arms etc.
    The rest are self-explanatory
