Italy - Bologna

6-05-2011

A day filled with strikes.

Started the day with a phone conversation with my sister , heard about the Air India strike.

Next got on the train to Bologna, at a station where we were changing trains , heard about the rail strike in Italy. Changed plans, after a lot of running around, got to Bologna.

The hotel was a bus ride away, got there, heard about the bus strike in Bologna, to start in the evening.

On the bus to the city centre , we all had to leave the bus as people were striking ahead.

Saw the Piazza Maggiore, very medieval in looks. We must have just missed some performance as there were groups of people dressed as noblemen and peasants of bygone eras in the Piazza.

Did not see much of Bologna, more of trains and buses. At least the hotel we are staying at is nice.
