After the horrible, miserable weather we had left behind in the UK (we left Luton as it had just started to snow), it was nice to be somewhere warm and sunny. It was weird seeing that big yellow thing in the sky, it had been a long time! Sport Options had provided coaches to San Marino but we opted to leave earlier so could look round the principality. We headed out for some brunch first before heading to the other coaches laid on to San Marino leaving every half hour. The Police provided a welcome background before we enbarked on the 45 minute drive.
So the World Cup campaign is back and this time a double header with San Marino away followed by Montenegro. Sport Options offered a 5 day trip taking in both games, so on Thursday evening we headed up towards Luton airport as had a 4am check in Friday morning for our flight to Rimini.
Friday 22nd March
We landed about 9am local time and were soon on a coach for the 20 minute drive to the Aqua hotel just yards from Rimini seafront. It turned out that the majority of England fans would be staying here, but some came in from Blogna, others via Bosnia or Croatia.
