Ravenna mosaics

We caught the bus into Ravenna this morning to have a look around. The city looks a bit rubbish as you go in on the bus - very industrial - but once you get to the centre it is quite nice.

We bought tickets that got us into 3 basilicas, a museum and a mausoleum - all featuring lots of very impressive religious mosaics of one kind or another, mainly floors and ceilings!

By lunchtime we’d had enough tbh, so we went and got a pizza which was very nice even though I completely misread the menu - I thought I was getting pepperoni but I actually got yellow and red peppers. No problem, it was probably better.

Brief beach trip for a swim this afternoon. Despite yesterday’s comments it was ok - there weren’t many people about and the sea was very warm.

Now enjoying an aperitif back at the van on the campsite.

Moving again tomorrow… not 100% sure where to yet but probably somewhere towards (or south of) Florence.

(Btw, the campsite wasn’t noisy at all last night, but it was hot. By far our warmest evening and hottest night so far.)Read more
