Today we decided to go on a day trip to Bologna - it was supposed to be about 6 euros each way for the train and a little over an hour trip...unfortunately due to a strike, we were forced to take the express train. It took about a half hour but cost about 25 euro each way. On the way home, we found out too late that we were waiting at the wrong platform (number 6, but for non-express trains) and then had to wait for the next train, which we technically didn't have tickets for. We got on anyway and stood the whole time, afraid someone would check our tickets and then kick us off...but luckily a kind man fainted and distracted everyone including the ticket-checker...so we made it all the way home.
Bologna is a really cool city - it's famous for all the extensive porticos. Despite all the snow, we were able to walk through the city, rarely having to get wet. Apparently Bologna is famous for its porticos and has over 45 km of them! (somehow I chose to go to Bologna the day before we learned about it in my architecture class.)
