On the Road Again!

If only.... If it wasn't for Covid-19!!!!! Today we have another relatively short day with the drive from Bologna to Lake Como and a hotel there right on the lakeside. The main event today was the visit to the two Ferrari museums in Modena and Maranello! It's not that far to the north-west of Bologna.  Luckily for us Ferrari like to have visitors in August, whilst the other museums are closed. So we would have been to: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/museums/ferrari-maranello https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/museums/modena-foundation Sadly of course, bloody Covid-19 has pissed on that particular parade. From Modena we would have continued to Como and our hotel  there. The last few nights in Italy and we are already pointing northwards towards home.....

Day 9 has changed. It was formerly the day we drove up from Lucca to Como.  I wanted to squeeze in a trip to Bologna. So I did. The journey is only around 85 miles toll-free. The hotel is walking distance to the centre and the station. This means that I had to shuffle the proceeding stops on a day. As I found out previously, the booking assistant at booking.com couldn't do a change of date for Como. So to add a day meant cancelling all the stays and rebooking them a day later! I was able to sort out Como. Although on the booking site there were only two rooms left. Booked. Day 10 will be the drive up from Bologna to Como. I had planned to squeeze in a visit to the Moto Guzzi museum but it is closed all off August from the 3rd onwards!  Instead there is Modena.  The Enzo Ferrari Casa and Museum The Panini car museum The Stanguellini car museum The Maserati Show Room And a little further away, Lamborghini. So many supercars! What had been Day 11 has become Day 12. I ha...
