San Marino.
For those who don't know, San Marino is a country inside of Italy. It's located North East part of Italy on the top of a mountain. So on our way to Florence from Venice we have decided to take a little detour and stop at San Marino. Drive up to mountain was not very eventful, except we have decided to follow GPS instead of road signs. We ended up taking a small detour, but it wasn't that bad.
After we crossed the boarder (little sign welcoming us to San Marino and no passport control) we started to see some gorgeous views. But I am jumping ahead. After parking the car we started walking around, mostly up the hill. All streets are small with a lot of stores, with Russian speaking sales people. I never expected that.
Another interesting thing was that there were weapon stores (not real weapons, the airguns). We talked to sale person and he said that they have a lot of sales because taxes on the weapons in San Marino are a lot lower then in Italy.
Another first for me: we saw (and used) self-cleaning bathroom. For 50 cents you go in, do you business, and when you leave it sanitizes itself before the next customer. That was unusual.
Again, the pictures are on Google+ and Flickr. Views are awesome!!!
Next: Florence.
