Close to Rimini is San Marino, an independant republic with frontier post, governor and its own army. The old town sits along the ridge of a 2000ft rock/mountian. We took the van right to the top having missed the cablecar car park - we seemed to be going up and around for ever. The views all around were amazing. We walked up to one of the towers right on the ridge and had lunch in the 'Falcons Nest' pizza restaurant and it certainly felt like it. There were some very impressive cars in front of the governers office and lots of saluting by the guards - must have been something important happening. An annual vintage car rally passes thru the old streets every May (we missed it by a week) - must be quite a spectacle.
