Today a quick trip to Bologna to see the newly re-opened Archaeological Museum. The main square is very handsome although the cathedral has a curiously unfinished appearance. The museum has some very interesting New Kingdom stuff and the usual Greek vases along with Etruscan funerary material and Roman relics. Its somewhat oddly arranged, half new modern cases, well lit and displayed, half dreadful old, dim wooden cases its difficult to see into. I had a great lunch there and did have the whortle berries although not the ostrich. Tomorrow. all being well, its off to Paris and on Wednesday starting the long trek home to arrive on Friday.
