An Accidental Bologna

After one of the most epic nights of my life, ending with a police escort off of our train, (I will explain it all later) Kath and I found ourselves in an accidental Bologna this morning.





We climbed to the top of the highest tower of the city (453 steps), it is almost twice as high as the leaning tower of Pisa, and the view took my breath away. We climbed the one that you can see in this picture that is NOT leaning.

Climbing up the ever-winding stairs.



Bologna is so amazing. Kath and I got up and went to a funky little cafe in the morning to get a cafe d'orzo and they put whipped cream on the top.

Then we went to a grocery store so she could get some fruit. It really is amazing just how many students there are in this city.

They are funky and running around everywhere. One of the things that amazed me were these doorknobs everywhere.

There were many, many more, but chose these to put on here.

There is a very mideival feeling to this place...you can feel the oldness.

Ah...that I could live a hundred lives...one of them would have been being a student here.






This is moderately creepy.

Bologna is home to the oldest University in all of Europe and we got to see it. There are students running around everywhere, it is a very young and funky place.




I was so fascinated with this man. I cried as he left the square, because I knew that in the whole of my life, I would never see him again. God bless him. He was my man of wonder.



My very first cone of Gelato from GROM. It was all over from here.

The Bologna Train Station. We got to know this place really well.

I honestly have no idea what day it its.
