My bucket list has ‘do one thing every year that scares you to death’ listed on it. It’s no secret that I’ve checked that off for 2022 already, but on our day trip to San Marino, I got to check this off yet again.

San Marino

We had a 5:26 am train to Rimini, which is just outside of the San Marino border. If you didn’t know, San Marino is a separate, land locked country in Italy. It’s very small and feels very much like Italy, sitting on the top of a mountain and overlooking the valleys of Italy. Since we were moving our way south through Italy, we planned a stop here before moving to the Amalfi Coast. We arrived in Rimini and took a taxi that was 50 euros into San Marino.

Everything was going smoothly and we enjoyed their local dessert on the top of the mountain with some Café Americanos and Tostados Americanos. Seriously, we couldn’t be any more American. But they were tasty and hit just the right spot. San Marino has an Old Town, like most cities in Europe, and it was also full of cobblestone and hills. It was quaint though and a perfect place to get pictures overlooking the valleys.
