Flight home from Bologna
We got up insanely early – my flight left at 7:10A so I got up at 3:45A to shower and eat breakfast (breakfast at the Sheraton starts at 4:30A). I made the first shuttle at 5A. I had to ask where the Air France check-in was. While i was waiting in line, a woman from […]

Ravenna to Bologna
We got up late by design – we’re both tired and today is a rest day. We cleaned up and checked out of the hotel. After a quick lunch we took a taxi to the train station and caught a train to Bologna. We ate a really good, vegetarian lunch at Botega Conti-De Francesco. We […]

Ravenna, day 2
I woke up before the alarm this morning – because the room is a mini-suite I could get up, use the wash room and get on my iPad without bothering Aviva. We cancelled tonight in Bologna – no one knows anything about a strike so we’ll go back to our original plan to train to […]

Ferrara to Ravenna
We got up very early (5:30A) so we could get cleaned up and eat before trying to make a train just before 10A to Ravenna – otherwise it’s after noon. We checked out (too bad – this was one of the best hotels we’ve stayed in) and made the 9:22A train! It stopped everywhere… We […]

From Padua to Ferrara
We got up too early – our alarm went off a half hour too early, the battery may be going. We’re moving slowly today – as usual, as our vacations progress we get more and more tired (I need a vacation from my vacation). We’re hoping the recent earthquakes haven’t damaged Ferrara too much; we […]

Padua, day 2
We got up and had breakfast, which was quite good. We’re shipping home dirty clothes and some other things to lighten our load for the next two train trips; it wasn’t cheap but it shrank and lightened our load. Got cleaned up and headed out – our first really cloudy day with a chance of […]

On to Padua
We got up to our alarm, showered and got breakfast. Then it was off to the train station and to Padua, or Padova in Italian. The train was packed, no air conditioning and it was quite humid. We got to our hotel, Hotel Plaza. It’s a very nice hotel. Unfortunately, it’s Sunday and so almost […]

Bergamo, then back to Verona for the night
We got up late, just after 7AM and grabbed breakfast, which was quite good. Got cleaned up and headed out. We took a taxi up to Accademia Carrara – GAMeC; the main building is closed for maintenance but they have a special exhibit up of works by Carlo Ceresa. The show was nice including room […]

Training to Bergamo
We didn’t sleep well. We got up, cleaned up, and had breakfast. Then dropped our big bags with our hotel to hold and caught a taxi to the a train station. We took a train to Brescia, but then a bus to Bergamo; the desk clerk didn’t know they ran buses to Bergamo… We spent […]

Verona, day 2
We didn’t sleep especially well – I fell asleep quickly and then woke up early, Aviva didn’t fall asleep for a while and then sleep until time to wake up. Aviva’s phone stopped accessing data service, so we called AT&T – my phone was on a different carrier and working fine, but we couldn’t get […]
