Homer 2022: Modena

Modena - Pavarotti's from here. And Enzo Ferrari. And this couple who just happen to be strolling through my pic but look like they're posing...And it's one of Italy's great foodie cities. The home of Balsamic Vinegar and made more famous of late by superchef Massimo Botura. His restaurant Osteria Fransescana was Best Restaurant in the World in 2018. No chance of getting in unless you book months in advance. Nevermind, we'll go where the locals go.

Archers Bar for a couple of Lambruscos.

Trattoria Pomposa for dinner - with no English on the menu!

We loved the Budino di Parmigiano, "parmesan pudding" starter. The Lasagne Verde and Tortellini in Brodo we had are local specialities too.

Lambrusco is a sparkling red wine from just outside Modena. We like the dry, low alcohol Grasparossa. We visited La Cantina Settecani in Castelvetro.

Now we have three packs of wine under our table in Homer. 

And we went to the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata. 

We started traveling in Homer in 2008. We've done a clean out and apart from outdated food and clothes that don't fit, you'd be surprised how many items have become obsolete in our lives over the last 15 years. SatNavs, MP3 players, digital cameras and e-readers...

Some things we got rid of..pocket calculator, post- it notes, guide books, post cards, stamps and envelopes, highlighter pens and our trusty campsite directory. The end of an era..
