We were out of the van by 09:00 this morning and on our way to catch a bus into the centre of Bologna. City mapper does not work there, but Google Maps does a great job of filling the gap, telling us which bus(es) to catch and when to get off, etc.
The centre of Bologna is well worth seeing. It had once been a walled city and some of the walls are still there,
but inside it is a mixture of grand arcades full of posh shops and little side streets with provision stalls.
And the huge central square is something else again!
After coffee in one of the many cafes, we went back to the car park and headed on to Malcesine, which might have been a mistake as it is at the far end of Lake Garda from the motorway where we really want to be. Only chose it because of the Battle of the Villa Fiorita (Rumer Godden), but the lake is very lovely! As is the view from my bed.
And the sun came out again, which means it is a bit cold now.
We loved Malcesine - were staying at Limone and did a trip across the lake and then up the 2 cable cars to the top of Montebaldo - stunning views.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice, but all the little lakeside towns looked lovely.
