Parma is like the Dunedin of Italy, University central. We stayed here for 4 days, and was good for Giacomo as he got over his cough. We stayed in the country side with Lisa's aunty. Hand built by here late husband and father, it was your typical Italian house made of plaster, complimented by its array of dull colours. Here we experiences good italian hospitality, the main focus being the food! Pasta, meat and cheeses were served daily.
The city itself was busy, students and workers alike. We roamed the city for a good few hours. We didn't really have a plan. We stumbled across a few beautiful churches, once again the hallmark of our visits. It blows my mind how incredibly detailed the designs are. We also stumbled across a small book shop to purchase a book to help me with my Italian.
Lisa's whanau came around on Saturday to meet us, more to meet Giacomo, but we got a mean feed out of it. It was how you see it on T.V, loud and vibrant. The family were very nice, trying to include me as my Italian was limited.
We had a good time in Parma but ready to move on and see what else this country had to offer. We traveled to Bologna to catch a flight to Bark.
