San Marino
Leisurely colazione (breakfast) at the B&B then Autostrade (for a change) to San Marino. After climbing the 657 meter Monte Titano to get to the old town, we eventually found an indoor, 10-story parking lot carved or grafted on to the side of the mountain (how much did that cost?) and took a series of elevators up to the town. Other than being the third smallest country in Europe, issueing endless beautiful postage stamps and showing a modest Changing of THE (ie: one) guard at 2:30 PM (the Premier arrived in a chauffer-driven Audi for the occasion) it’s main feature is an endless series of bling and souvenir stores. I could not find out why one would want to buy a Japanese Samurai sword (“Just like the one in Kill Bill!") as a souvenir of San Marino, but the ladies seemed to enjoy their day.
