Happy July

Yesterday morning we got back from a lovely mini-break at Milano Marittima. I highly recommend the destination for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend escape. Many things about Milano Marittima are like any other Adriatic bech destination: Rows and rows of characterless three and four star hotels, a long white beach plastered with chairs and umbrellas, loads of teenagers, but Milano Marittima, unlike Rimini or Cattolica, has a great little town with heaps of trendy little spots that allow for ottimal people watching, fabulous little boutiques, bikes to rent, and a nature park nearby!

The first night we went into the old town of Cervia and walked around the night market, looking at a range of goods from organic honey to local ceramics. The second evening we lounged outside on a big sofa at a posh cafè that served us a chocolate fondue with fresh fruit, and the last evening we went for a walk on the beach after dinner. Nothing super crazy, but MM just has a nice feel to it. Sure, it's full of people and can feel a bit generic, but I admit that something about that is refreshing and fun. MM attracts the ''bella gente'' and Gius got a kick out of looking that the Lanborghinis, Maseratis and Ferraris parked illegaly all over the town. sadly, I have no pictues of the trip to share. We took the camera, but it never left the hotel room. I promise to be better in the future!
