Today I rode a bus to the\u00a0Most Serene Republic\u00a0of San Marino. San Marino lays claim to be the oldest extant sovereign state as well as the oldest constitutional\u00a0republic. An interesting town, if I hadn’t spent the last couple of weeks visiting places like Dubrovnik and Kotor. Lovely. High on the tourist scale. San Marino declared dogs acceptable everywhere, from museum to restaurant. A strangely high number of shops in high-tourist areas (i.e., everywhere) sell swords, modern crossbows, and airsoft guns.\n<\/p>\n

I met Guido, from Argentina, last night. We bumped into each other in San Marino and rode back together. He’s on the last leg of his four-week trip, leaving tonight for Naples before a train to Rome and a flight home.\n<\/p>\n

After the last week of wandering the coast, I haven’t had to plan much. With a gap between here and Bologna, I spent the bus ride to San Marino and part of the evening failing to puzzle out tomorrow. I have hostel reservations in Bologna for the two days after tomorrow. Tomorrow is a national holiday (that didn’t show up wherever I checked Italian holidays a week ago), and budget accommodation is now non-existent. I pinged a few Warmshowers.org hosts, and will pack plenty of water. Each evening recently I’ve passed what looked like a great place to wild camp within a few kilometers of my destination; perhaps consistency will hold.<\/p>\n
