Bologna & Florence 02/10/2014

Well San Marino was scrapped today, we couldn't be bothered with driving for 2h30m after the past two days, so we decided to change the plan and go to bologna, home of the famous spaghetti Bolognese called Ragu. We went up the one of the Two Towers as one was in half and about sunk into the groud, the other was extremely tall, with creaking wooden steps all the way up and the occasional floor to rest at this must have took a good 10/15 mins to get up.

We then went to see the Bologna Carhederal, honestly I've seen that many now I could probably build my own.

We also visited Neptunes Fountain and the Medieval Market in which Tammy brought some pasta and sauce.

On the short drive back we have blue sky's full of fluff balls and the view of mountains in the background, to say we have drive a lot on the motorway we have seen a lot, sone fascinating sights.

When back in Florence we went to the Cathederal which I shown you in a previous post to go inside it. As we walked to it we passed the nearby resteraunt we ate at, this was very good service, cheap and nice food...but nothing beats the town of Garda at Lake Garda.

Here is a view of Florence from way above! Yes we have more bloody stairs to climb, this time we was enclosed with brick walls and trying to get two people through, there was no organised system for this II was a sick ya guy in a squeeze past.

(Stairs to the top, these walls also became slanted 😥)

Well that was pretty much all we got to do today, so wasn't a bad day at all, off to Milan tomorrow.
