Next on the NYT Itinerary were Pisa and Bologna. Since Pisa falls into the rule of somewhere we would go on holiday and the fact that the one and only campsite in Pisa had no availability it was a drive-by shooting, that is a drive-by photo shoot for us.
Well you get the idea, a tower that leans enough said......
Arriving at the Bologna campsite which was built for the Bolonga expo we were greeted by the owner, a very passionate Italian who helped with bus times and maps of the city. So we unpacked the van and headed off into Bologna. the city is about 50 miles from Florence and is famous for it's cuisine and fiery left-leaning politics, market stalls brimming with fresh produce and specialty shops selling cured meats, fresh pasta and its specialty dish Ragu - Bolognese to you and me.
Once again the NYT book of recommended sights came in most handy.
One of the striking elements to Bologna is the portici or covered terracotta archways and marble walk ways that making walking around the city cool when hot and dry when raining.
