Our trip to Emilia Romagna
 
Just published our web page about our trip in May to Emilia Romagna in Italy. We visited Bologna, Parma, Modena, Mantua and Ferrara.

Here is the link:

Hope it can be of assistance to those planning a trip to this area of Italy.

Yay! Another SSSteve report!

Hi Crunchy!

Where have you been lately?

sssteve Jul 5th, 2016 09:33 AM

I meant: "where have you traveled to lately"?

A nice trip report! We've eaten at a couple of the same restaurants, and now you've got me wanting to go back.

Just a minor correction... Mantova is in Lombardia province, not Piemonte.

Great report! Thanks for sharing the information about your trip.

Do you think it's possible to visit Georgio's for the balsamic tour without a car? We will be staying in Bologna and plan to visit Modena by train. It looks like it's possible to walk there from the train station??

Thanks!

modeen14 - we just returned to georgio's last month and it seems like a bit of a walk... maybe take a taxi? i know they will be happy to get you another taxi after... maybe even drop you off (they're so nice.) oh my... we bought quite a bit and are really enjoying it. i am mad for their new juniper variety. didn't love their 'carlotta'... and wanted to love it, as it's named for their daughter.

enjoyed your report very much-- and will keep your restaurant information for our next visit to bologna! (she says hopefully...)

sssteve Jul 5th, 2016 11:04 PM

Modeen: it's 2.6 KM from the train station. I suggest a taxi.

Jean: Thanks for the correction. You are absolutely right, and it's already been corrected. Piemonte is our favorite place in Italy, so maybe it was a Freudian slip.
You get a 10 from me for reading comprehension! :-)

Is the breakfast at the Carlton still run by the cockney woman?

I remember a pleasant woman who spoke the Queen's English very nicely, but it was definitely not cockney.
