We spent a few hours today walking around Bologne, ate the requisite Ragu with tagliettelli- it didn't blow my mind but it was good...granted my expectations were pretty high! We had been reading the lonely planet guide which recommended a gelateria as one of the best in Italy, and after an hour of walking to find it, it tasted pretty amazing! I don't know whether Ill ever be happy with normal old ice cream again after this trip. Aside from food, Bologne has beautiful arcades down all the main roads and I imagine that being a university town, during term-time it must have a great vibe too. We didn't get to check out any of the bars though as we are now en route to Florence and about to start the search for a campsite. In case anyone wants to know, Eli and I have one swollen foot each from vicious Venetian mosquitoes!

It's great to read all about your trip! Pity you can't bring us some ice cream - hope your swollen feet go down soon.
