OUR FAMILY HOLIDAYS

0227 Overseas Holidays – Rimini, 1976

With our third foreign holiday, and our children somewhat older, we became more adventurous.  To start with, we weren't particularly adventurous. We went to Rimini on the Adriatic coast of Italy.  This was, as we had experienced before, sun, sea and sand.

Even so it was still of interest since it was Italian rather than Spanish and the tourism was slightly more sophisticated.  Again we stayed in a hotel on the beach.  It was a relatively cheap but for once the accommodation was quite comfortable, though the shower room was as usual somewhat grubby, and we did spend more time beach here since it was a much better beach.

We once more had meals provided by the hotel. On the other hand they were so skimpy that every night we had to take children out to alocal restaurants to fill them up with another meal. As usual, we spent some time wandering around Rimini going to the local tourist sites; including  several mini ‘theme’ parks and a quite impressive model ’global village’.
