Today I have woken feeling a little better than yesterday. Fingers crossed I continue to improve.

Well, we are off on the road again today, so after breakfast and packing our bags we head over to Central Station to check how things work and where we need to go for our train travel today.

We then head back to get our bags. It is lovely to get out of the apartment and have a little look around, albeit only a 200m2 area. We looked at the different types of transport that navigate this small area to help people travel throughout the city. Eco buses, Trams, Metro and Trains. There were many beautiful old building, many new glass like structures and the sculptures on the Station building is exquisite.

As we arrive back at the station with bags in tow, we head to the entry gate where our train is due to come in and wait until the platform is assigned. At about 11:50am our platform is determined and we head in to the train, which is waiting for its passengers. We are travelling in Super Economy – Business, which comes with a welcome drink and snack.

The trip was about 3.5 hours to travel 339km, at one stage we were travelling 298kmh. It was a lovely, comfy trip with wide leather seats. On arrival at Riccione we then walked to the coast to our accommodation. Only a 600m walk and not too many cobblestones to negotiate.

After checking to the Hotel Mediterraneo, we head out for a walk, check out the surf, buy a few groceries and then head back to the home for a rest before dinner. We enjoy a 7pm dinner with Nick at a local Italian Restaurant. I enjoyed some Ravioli and David had a lovely meal of swordfish with grilled bees. Yummy! I had a little food envy.

Anyway, hopefully I will have a good night sleep tonight. Fingers crossed for me.
