Bologne to Venice, the adventure continues!

This mornings trip took us up into the mountains, on a very windy, foggy road, with many tunnels and even more big semis trying to manoeuvre through the dense traffic. The views that we could see where beautiful, but the fog often obscured the view. At around 10am we arrived at Bolgne.


I know when I saw Bologne on the itinerary, I thought it looked like a stop that would have little of interest but many of us on the tour found this to be one of the most enjoyable. The town was one of the cleanest we've seen yet, they even have their own leaning tower. It's the home of the oldest University in Europe, and it's own selection of beautiful statues ad fountains, the most famous being 'Neptune'.


After looking through the city, we connected with a number of our fellow travellers, and found one of the best little restaurants we've eaten at yet. Cecil enjoyed the mussel and clam spaghetti, while I had a pumpkin tortelline in a balsamic reduction sauce. It was amazing....my favourite meal yet  as was the baking that we bought at a little shop just down from the restaurant.



A couple of hours after leaving Bolgne, we arrived in another town (look up, starts with P), where we visited another Basilica, this one called St. Anthony's Cathedral. The town had the largest square in Europe, surrounded by statues. The rain started again as we got to the Cathedral. It was massive and huge, with the tomb of St Anthony on one side, and a collection of relics in another room, including his finger, vocal chords and what seemed to be one of his robes. 


There was lots to be seen, of course no pictures could be taken, so what we remember will be all by memory, but the challenge we all found was that nothing was expained in English, so for our group, it was a little disappointing, to see so much but not to know what it was that we saw. 


We went through fairly quickly, and crossed the street, past the statue done by Donettelli, to the St. Anthony's bar/cafe for a drink with Betty Ann and Mike before loading back on the bus to make our way to Venice!
