We checked out from our guesthouse and drove down to Bologna today. The drive through very narrow and remote roads weren’t as worrying today as we didn’t have the same concerns of being led astray by Google Maps.
It was a 3h plus journey non-stop but we stopped in Parma for a walk around the old town centre, then stumbled upon a deli where we could buy a few salads for lunch. We parked up at a rest area by the motorway (and outside the restaurants) and ate our three salads of bean, octopus and green.
Next stop was Maranello where Kim wanted to visit one of the two Ferrari museums. While he was in the museum, I sat in the cafe and did a bit of admin on the computer.
We arrived at the Holiday Inn Express Bologna Fiera late afternoon. The hotel was cheap at EUR55 including daily breakfast for two. As it was in a commercial park, there were a few eating choices and we ate at Wiener Haus very reasonably.
