Still in Genova we by accident visited Matteo's favorite bar, took a ride on the funny-bus and sightsaw the jail where Marco Polo wrote his memoires. Jessica learned to eat olives and we bought a new front tyre on her bandit.

After this amazing week we headed along the coast for a couple of days of riding again and had much fun on a real Italian-only camping.

But, duty calls and a good day driving towards Bologna my dear friend Dona was waiting for us! She had a great appartment just outside the city center and from there we started exploring Bologna and the Bolognese. Again with loads of wine and BBQ's! A few of Dona's friends were also among the nicest people to hang out with, with Greek and Sicillian backgrounds, everyone was there to party.
