Hello everyone! Today a post a little bit different, because it is divided into three parts, as many were the times I went to Rimini from May to September of 2010.
May 2010.
We direct to Emilia Romagna by car, for two days and one night, we slept to 'Hotel Alex already knew for many years. Upon arriving we immediately arranged at the hotel, the friendly owner gave us a beautiful room where you can also see the sea, which is really just a few steps away! A couple of minutes to get to a road parallel road to the waterfront shops and restaurants, although during the month of may there are not many people in the area of the sea, the city is different.
The hotel has a beautiful 'entrance under a arcade where you can chat with a great evening breeze and if I remember correctly you can sit even on a pretty rocking chair.
Once inside in front of you will have the dining room behind this you can find the kitchen, while on the right there is the bar and reception. The upstairs rooms are very clean and quiet, in our there was also a terrace.
Room's prices depending on the season and can change from a minimum of 29 to a maximum of 49 euros.
Prices are per person per day but include full board. There are also other facilities for children and you will find all the information on the website:

To contact the 'hotels please call: +39 0541392240.
Now we went to the beach, when there 'is really no one, we entered at the bath 79, "Da Giovanni",where we are always entered.
In the afternoon we headed into town, looking new typical streets and old ones that I have not seen for so many years. Shops of all types and for all tastes, you will love to spend an afternoon walk and maybe eat a good ice cream!
The next day, headed back home, at some point the 'highway was diverted because of work and we went on some roads in the countryside which really would suggest you to see, but I have no idea where they were!
1st to 12 August 2010
With four different traveling companions again, ready both to the sea and to be fascinated by the beauty of this city too often underestimated ... Well my dear, this is not the truth!
Let's start by saying that this time we used the train, once you arrive at the station you can catch several buses that will take you safely anywhere, normally you don't need a taxi, tickets and information at the stand next station, where you can find also a supermarket and a tourist information center.
As soon as we have placed the luggage, we direct to the city center,well-connected, where if you walking with your back to arch you will find a wonderful backery that also makes non-sweet foods... you must try some delicious!
The streets where you will discover magical library with books even of 70 years ago at very good prices, I bought "Questi Fantasmi!" (Eduardo de Filippo), we will have spent at least an hour inside!
The main square has always been a bit of life and is full of shops and bars where you can relax yourself.
Not far away there is also a supermarket just below Coin ( a shop), its name is Conad, with good prices.
A little bit away from the city and with a little bit of luck you can find some really nice vineyard ..
A trip to Riccione, I was curious to see it ' cause I had heard so much about it.
A nice town to walk around for an afternoon, with shops with famous designers or famous brands,vintage and not, but also other, also characteristic, or you can find shops like Zara, several local aperitif, dinner and after dinner.
One of these in a street parallel to the main road all in pink with a buffet and nice cocktails.
As always in every place there is so much to see besides the usual local, don't stop to usual things and find something to talk about these beautiful towns!
Walking in the evening we saw these bright fountains and a few bus stop going back to Rimini, we have find a wonderful ceramics shop, where the owners were also creating new pieces in front of us.
So many beautiful days spent at sea, under Giovanni 's the white and green umbrellas, he is always ready to help you; the plant has cabins, umbrellas, sun beds, children's games, you can rent pedal boats and more without forgetting the bar where you can eat breakfast and lunch really good and maybe you could meet as weel us the band "Ska-P".
It is been in a wonderful rainy day after a come back in the past that made me relive wonderful memories, we go out for a walk after a homemade breakfast with pancakes, time was not very promising but still not raining so we decided to do all things usual for tourists.... like buy the cards; when we go back home start a downpour and you really can not escape, wherever you go you will be joined by these drops of water hitting the ground and bounce on you... and running away towards a shelter that was not there but , perhaps, we didn't want to find it very much (it was too funny).
The real downpour in Rimini are not to be underestimated are very strong and at some point you'll need some shelter... and was the same for us.. we headed to the bar of the beach, and once there the point from we entered usually was closed .. fortunately opened by the other side, we sat a little bit chilled and the friendly bar owners have brought us a great lunch, we really need it! We seemed 4 chicks completely wet!
At Cheers in the evening or going to dance, choose carefully the places to go, not because of fashion but because they must be suitable for you and your age.
Pass on the seafront, at various times of the night, buses at prices more expensive than the buses of the day.(Check the times of the last races).
The beautiful days followed one another rapidly at sea, that 'year there was also a nice clean water,to downtown for a walk and maybe a beautiful evening with beautiful music of all types and several age at the Tiki!
I love this city!
It was time to go home, but after a week I came back here by 'train and went back to the car, other days in front of a rough seas, many surfers took advantage of it willingly and still around in many restaurants and a chat with the locals.
