Ferrara part 1

Decided to centre ourselves in Ferrara rather than Bologna - a good decision as it's lovely.  




Our trains were a bit late but between Milan and Bologna we hit 300km/h!!!

Tuesday caught train to beautiful Bologna and circulated the churches for the paintings and frescoes only problem is that even the churches close for lunch!  Such a lovely city with colonnaded passages everywhere.









Wednesday Ravenna for the mosaics, the photos don't do them justice, they are astounding, even the floors are amazing.  A quick trip to Faenza followed for the ceramic museum - wow, could have spent the whole day there.  And Faenza gave the world the word "faïence".
