San Marino

San Marino is a small independent republic located within Italy just south of Venice. It dates back to 300AD, long before tax havens and duty free shopping were invented. The city of San Marino, capital of San Marino, is located on the top of a mountain as you can see in these photos. We stayed in a very old hotel in the heart of the old city and had a pre dinner party with the Aussies on our balcony overlooking the Christmas lights of the walled town. As the Aussies would say, "It was migic!"

Note to Leeanne MacLeod-Archer - the streets of San Marino are lined with leather stores where you can buy Italian made shoes and boots for $30 - $1000 many with "come f*** me" heels too! They also sell bags and purses with the average price being $29!!!!!! Leather jackets and coats are even better deals.

Note to Greg Campbell - Arran Single Malt 17 years old - $21!!!!!!!! A 5 year old Glen Grant $10!!!! Wine $3-$6 litre!!!

In the last picture I am not trying to blow out the candle, I'm just hyperventilating after seeing the bill!
