Having fallen asleep before 9 pm last night I was still pretty tired when I woke up. I had decided that today was going to be the final relax day of my adventure. Remember I hate sitting still for longer than ten minutes.
I went down for breakfast, who knew risotto was a breakfast choice 🤷🏻♀️. Ready for the day it was time to hit the beach, I didn’t have far to travel, a mere 10 metres across the road. I get a feeling that Rimini is a bit like the Blackpool of Italy, the beach is just rammed full of sun beds and activities. It cost me 10 euros for a bed and umbrella – far cheaper than the Almalfi coast 🤣.
Error number 1 of today – I forgot my sunglasses.
Error number 2 – I bought sparkling water instead of still. As a chemist🤓 – you know that the carbon dioxide is just going to release rapidly over the course of the day and it will turn into a warm weird tasting water – delightful ⚗️
Error number 3 – I hadn’t charged my kindle enough so it would run out of charge before the day is out.
But anyway it was rather pleasant.
I lasted a grand total of just over 4 hours at the beach before I was far too hot and sandy! Time for an aperol and a pool stint
A little cafe opposite the beach provided me with a slice of pizza and an Aperol 
Back in the hotel I got myself a corona for by the pool – I ended up knocking it over and having the fear of going back to the bar straight away to get a new one. So instead I absorbed some more rays – I need to get as much vitamin D over the next few days as possible before the start of going to work in the dark and getting home in the dark begins.
A freshen up and a relax in my cool air conditioned room followed by some drinks and dinner down the road. My aperol was served with mini pizza so by the time I got to my Milanese cutlet with spinach I was in a food coma and in bed by 8 pm. Although I do need to be up at 6.15 am if I’m to make it to San Marino, I’ve booked from south Rimini 16 km away rather than north Rimini 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️.
