Bologna Centrale

A painless journey to Bologna, only spoiled on arrival, after booking an expensive ticket for the monorail, to find it's currently replaced by a replacement bus service. It was like being back home!

After settling into our AirBnb with a novel app-based entry control system, we went out (the rain having stopped) to find a lovely restaurant. After selecting what we wanted from the menu, the waiter told us no, that's not what we should be having. It was quite startling. You want to eat local food here, he said, pointing us at two cheaper alternatives. It didn't feel like we had any choice. Both were pasta dishes, very strong with garlic, and absolutely superb. Best food I've had in a long while. Thank you, Luca.
