After five days of walking, we were really tired of it, so we took a day off.

We did go into town, but we stayed in the car, just looking. Plus it is impossible to find a parking space anywhere in Italy.

We ended up eating some wienerschnitzel at the Wiener Haus. So far we have had Chinese and German food.

I asked the clerk at the hostel if there was a Limited Traffic Zone, where only residents can drive. The clerk didn’t know English very well and said there wasn’t any. Today, while on the bus, I did see several of the warning signs. I am really hoping that I didn’t cross into the zone, there is a 180 euro fine if the camera captures your tag, that’s for each offense. The rental companies are really nice, they add that to your bill and charge your credit card automatically.

We caught the bus into town and walked around a bit. Bologna isn’t very big, so we didn’t take too long to see it.

We went into the Due Torri (the two towers) and walked up the spiral staircase to the ticket office, but that winded the both of us. Climbing all the way to the top would kill us, then we still would have to climb back down. One of the towers leans more than the one in Pisa, plus it is taller and older, yet gets no love from the media. The Pisa tower is a total screw up, whereas this tower is a victim of Medieval battles between families.
