Rimini
They decided to have another rest day, unscheduled this time. It was still chucking it down with rain in the morning with more thunder and lightening – so much for the sunny Adriatic!! Edith now is fairly certain she has a severely bruised or cracked rib from her fall in the Alps and is on painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. Gerard is recovering from scrapes and bruises.
They took a local bus up to the independent republic of San Marino, one of those wonderful anomalies of European politics. It’s a boring 19th century pastiche of a medieval town, though it looks good from a distance. A nice lunch. It cleared in the afternoon and they had a pleasant walk from the station at Rimini to the hotel.
I also attach the first photo of the intrepid duo taken earlier in the trip. They managed to get a friendly internet cafe to email the picture through.

Hi Gerard and Edith
Am full of admiration for your energy, persistence and good humour on the tandem - and sympathy for your injuries.
Do hope the painkillers are helping.
The lorries sound horrid. I found them alarming enough when I was driving back to England from Rome with broken windscreen wipers in 1991. And I had four wheels!
much love and luck
Rosie
