• Rimini with sun!

    20 September 2024, Itali ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    During the night, rain fell in buckets, so I was not expecting much today. In the event, I woke to blue skies and fluffy clouds.
    Decided on a slow start, which involved no breakfast. I did some washing, but there are things that require a washing machine...soon!
    I went in search of the shopping mall, in the vain hope of finding some lightweight jeans and a thin jumper. It took an hour and a half to find this shopping mall, walking!
    Imagine my dismay when there were only designer outlets. All the parts of Europe I have tangled with so far are obsessed with designer gear. Beyond me! Suffice it to say it was a pointless waste of effort, and my feet have not yet stopped complaining.
    After walking all that way, I felt I deserved a treat. The ice cream is pistachio, and crema. Didn't go much on the crema, but it was very welcome.
    Once back at the hotel, I changed into my sun tanning beach kit. I was given a special card which allowed me to go to section 45 of the beach where I could pay for a lounger or a lounger and an umbrella! At special rates. The beach is divided up into about 100 plots.

    One can go on the beach and walk about for nothing. One can sit on the sand for nothing but if you want a lounger, it's 6 euros whatever time of day you go. If you feel the need for an umbrella, resist, it costs 20 euros. Bleeping rip off!
    Two hours later, I did the French marching up and down the beach for half an hour and then left.
    This evening, I had risotto a la pescara and 1/4 litre of fizz. The food was delicious, and the fizz went down very well!
    It's time now for a cup of coffee and a bit of a read before bed.
    Market day tomorrow. Might find a bargain!🤣
    Relatively uninteresting pics and not many.
