Ferrara.... Well, don't seem to have time to keep the diary up to date since we left the group.
Travelled to Ravenna from Rimini....which gave us a day in another beautiful historic Italian town with an absolutely dazzlingly wonderful old Basilica..the Basilica di San Vitale. Comes close to the best we have seen. Look at other sites, caffe, people watch.
Then moved to the municipal site at Ferrara....which is absolutely covered with sticky mulberries...the site being covered by mulberry trees. Grow taller on mulberry mush as you walk about....
..pity, because we walk into Ferrara itself to find yet another, but different, historic walled town. So glad we made the trip here. It's very hot but we visit the old Duomo, a magnificent cathedral and walk some of the medieval streets.
Sit and people watch...lots of police of various Italian sorts because a protest against the rise of the Neo-Faschists is about to take place....
....time to return to the mulberries and prepare for our move to near Venice.
