Remains of roman gate and pretty intact city wall...


Another tower, there used to be over 300 on Bologna, this one is pretty boring as it is vertical


More stunning architecture


Christmas tat market - decent surroundings though


Antique market in another part of town, surroundings again were stunning - the Church in the background is 7 churches in one.  Over the years as different religions held power, they would just build another church over the exiting one, so this has 7 layers of church, much like an onion...


And there was some great stuff for sale.  We bought this extremely useful 1860 Sevres container


Giorgio proving that he is tough enough


Giorgio and his wife, Silvia


Parmesan shop


Pretty Christmassy portici

Having a wonderful time, great to meet up with Georgeel and his beautiful wife, we covered a lot of ground yesterday and got through some amazing food.  Am generally too busy chatting, eating or drinking to take pix so apologies but here are a few:

Outside San Francisco church, in the sunshine



Entrance to the Spanish college student digs



Giles standing outside wishing he'd been a student there



Another beautiful building

Can't afford to chrome plate bits of your Harley?  No problem, the Bolognese solution just requires baking foil, available from most good supermarkets.....


This chapel was built in the 8th and 9th centuries, not in bad nick...


......apart from the fact that some of the columns have had to have a little remedial work performed on them....

too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others & wishing to be sth. we aren't. It's only when you accept everything you're - and aren't - that you will truly succed!
