A great Holiday

 As i sit writing this post, the quietness of the hostel  and the very black and white surroundings makes me feel very strange. I glanced at the time and date and it appears 3:05pm 5th February 2011. So whats the main conclusion:

42 hours till Semester 2

Anyway lets not talk about that. I just wanna share about my trip to Italy




Day 1


Reached Rimini, a seaside resort in Italy. But before even reaching the hotel, we went to San Marino,a mid-evil city. Simply awesome views as the whole San Marino is on a hill. The weather was a bit chilly but overall great. and some shops even accepted roubles for currency. Wanted to find the castle there but not much time


Then we went to our hotel Maena. It was approaching dinner time so we decided to walk and walk until this restaurant called "RIVA" . This place was awesome. I order appolo griglia which was grilled chicken with baked potatoes it was awesome plus.....the manager gave us small garlic bread with toppings, orange juice and cookies as coperto (service charge 1.50 Euro)

2nd day            

Well it was a lazy day. Practically woke up late, did nothing except play FIFA and so on till it was dinner time. Really a wasted day but for dinner we went to a restaurant near our hotel. I ate Spaghetti Arrabiata and 4 Formaggi pizza.

3rd day

This time we went to Central. Omg and we found a Chinese shop where we could find many many things. So so amazing and the boss introduced us to a nearby Chinese restaurant for lunch and so we went. After lunch we walked around central. We found the famous Arch and we did shopping for a while before heading back for dinner in George. Sad case..the food there was brilliant as the atmosphere

 4th day

Off to Milan we went. Reached there and to our utter dismay Museums were closed. What a pity but we saw a few churches and basically did shopping as Milan is basically shopping paradise. GUCCI, PRADA, LV are basically all there. Ate in McDonald's for lunch. Back again in Riva for dinner and for coperto he gave us 2 extra pizzas and that is indeed amazing

5th day

The next day we decided to go to the beach. Kinda of a lovely weather and really my worries just cleared as the breezes washes way. A lot of deep thoughts were in my mind and really enjoyed. After that we headed to Americago and i had Seafood Spaghetti and it was so so so so awesome. It had squid,prawns,fish, cockles, clams everything. After the beach we found a 90% shop and i book 10 textbooks for just 1 Euro...its damn freaking cheap. The girls obviously took more time. We went to BILLA which is equivalent of ashan and bought so much cheap stuff. Later on found a tourist shop and we all bought I LOVE ITALIA shirts. Ended by eating Italian food

In my deep thoughts

Chilling

Yummy

Day 6

Last free day in Rimini. Basically day started late and we went out to central again. Everyone was looking at shoes but not me. I decided to go for a haircut and so i went and it only cost 18 Euro so not so bad. Since it was the eve of CNY, we went for a sort of reunion dinner and that was basically it

 Day 7

We went to Rome and words cannot describe it. From Vatican to Colosseum to the fountain. It was just so so amazing. Met so many Malaysian there and even Billy and gang.

Day   8

Ciao Ciao. Time to leave Italy. Haizz so so sad

Conclusion

Really enjoyed myself as i really prepare for this upcoming semester. New sem, and new challenges.
