Friday 23 September
We packed up and said googbye to Venice, catching a train to Bologna. Jen has booked the accommodation, finding a good website that actually had some vacancies (booking.com for future reference). I would hate to travel without pre-aranged accommodation in the high season. I am looking forward to stopping in Sicily for a while, and not travelling every second day. I was exhausted last night, as was Jen and I'm sure Pam and Dad.
Arrived Bologna. Excellent place, great relaxed vibe and lots of mod cons, unlike Venice, which although is lovely, is trapped a bit in the 1800's.
An afternoon of relaxing, sleeping, walking through the University areas, with lots of students and a nice atmosphere. We had dinner, two pasta dishes and made our way through the uncrowded lovely streets of Bologna back to the 'Paradise Hotel, which is no paradise, but nice anyway. The manager wouldn't match the internet price for the second night for some unknown reason, then promptly raised the internet price by 10 euro, oh well, we booked in another up the road for cheaper. Ha ha!
