When I found out that we were going to visit Bologna and spend  3 nights here, I thought: “I wonder what there is to see in this small city” but as soon as we got here, I must admit I was positively surprised.

To begin with, I was shocked because for the “first time” Charles was that relaxed and chilled about this journey that he almost took us to the wrong hotel, but unfortunately Jessie and I were not enough masochist to catch a bus and walk under the sun for 10 minutes with all the suitcases and we actually had to point our hotel standing just in front of the train station! Apart from this, Bologna was a great little city to visit and spend a couple of days in, also all the churches we have visited, were accessible and there was a lot to see. Unfortunately we could not get on top of the towers “Garisenda and Asinelli” because not accessible but hopefully  next time that would be possible!

Moreover, another activity worth doing apart from strolling around the city and trying all different type of Tortellini with Bolognese sauce, munch couple of pounds of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and eating schiacchiata with Mortadella, is visiting the Ducati Museum and the factory. The tour is totally accessible and amazing if you are passionate about the two wheels and we really enjoyed it, especially walking around the staff’s parking and see that there was not even a Non-Ducati motorcycle! I am sure if I would start working there I would have to leave my Honda outside!

If you do have time also the Ferrari Museum would certainly be worth to visit but unfortunately when you are always drunk, time goes even faster or maybe it takes 3 times the usual time needed to get in places by zig-zagging rather than going straight!

Last but not least be aware that when ordering in a Restaurant a Gluten FREE Pizza,  you must be very specific, because you might end up with this: a “typical square Lasagna-Pizza served in a plastic tray”(trust me I do not have a dog but I am sure if I had one and tried to feed him with that, he would have left it there!)

So it is now time to move to Florence, my hometown! Really excited about this  but also anxious because I feel  the pressure!!
