So it was time to leave Bologna, we had a good time, and great pasta - but there was still more to come! I had read about this cool little place on the internets and convinced a friend to ring up and reserve us lunch there (in Italiano). This place was about 4.5 hrs drive from Bologna and only 30 mins from Monaco, but still just in Italy.
We had planned on going to Venice by train, but figured out it would cost around 120E and take 1.5hrs on the train, and driving would only take 2 hrs and not much in tolls. So driving it was.
We decided that we would just hang out in Bologna today, as we had been doing a bit of driving and gallivanting around and we just needed some time to relax and rest our sore feet.
After realising the best food is in the country, we left around 11am, heading 2 hours north, near Parma to check out some cool Trattorias.
We thought that we might take a day trip to Pisa, and check out the leaning tower. Touristy - yes, hilarious - yes.
Our first day in Bologna started with breakfast at the hotel, which ranged from cakes to boiled eggs and everything in between.
So we decided not to end our German tour on a low note, so headed back to ArzMiller for breakfast. This time we didn’t make the same rookie mistake, and we had an apfel strudel each. It was kind of like a baklava but instead of nuts, apple. And crumble.
