We were really glad to be leaving Bologna, the internet was awful, it was hard to find the signal and then it would drop for no apparent reason.

We set out early, even though we knew we could not check in to Modena until 2pm.

I wanted to skip the Autostrade, basically Italy’s interstate highway, so I had to program the GPS to take us to a town halfway, just to get directions. I had looked at the map prior to leaving, just to see the route, but I didn’t look to see what was in Modena that I wanted to see.

As we approached Modena, I spotted a sign for the Ferrari Museum. I pulled off the road at the first spot that I could and reset the destination on the GPS for the museum. It took us on a bypass road around the city, where we saw our first accident in Italy. After some thought, neither of us had seen any cars with noticeable dents or scratches. For all their crazy driving, they seem to be good at it.

The museum gift shop’s pricing reflected the same as their dealers. It was €xp€n$ive.

We still had time before check in, so we found the hostel and parked. Luckily we decided to come inside to the desk, as the receptionist was able to give us a parking pass, saving us 2€ per hour.

We walked downtown and saw just about the whole place and still had time to kill, so we ate lunch. Apparently, in Italy, “lo mein” is called “spaghetti” on menus.
