It has been a huge week of fun in the Italian sun. Started with an easy peasy limoncello squeezy train ride to Bologna to hook up with great mates Grant and Janet from Sydney.
We hit the ground running with an instant visit to the shops to look at excellent food, then a wander around town. The streets within the old city are close enough that you can walk around quite easily and explore. It is the home of Ducati Motorcycles and one of the biggest catholic cathedrals in Italy.
I am in Tuscany presently enjoying lots of sun and relaxation.
Enjoy
cheers
