A selfie for the two girls with the heart of Lake Scanno. For a little while it seemed they were not going to make it, as they came from the wrong direction and doggedly had to make their way through the undergrowth.

Getting tickets was no mean feat. I was in queues on multiple devices, and suddenly Jo had luck on her computer, and we didn't have long to think about if we were happy with the seating or that performance, we just knew if we turned them down, we would be unlikely to get another pair.

We found a great atmosphere at a restaurant along a portico. We had come armed with a list of "must try" foods, that a Bomba friend had equipped Jo with. OK, so we didn't try them all, but three of them did find their way on to our table for subsequent demolishing.

We were Rapt with our Seats

Only a few rows back, behind the "green room" on the floor of the arena. Eurovision was an experience so much fuller than any broadcast version could possibly be.

Sheldon Riley performing, representing Australia in Eurovision. We were astounded at the amount of Australian representation in the crowd. Everywhere we looked, we could pick out Aussie flags. So awesome to see so many out there supporting our entry.

Bologna university is referred to, in various sites and literature, as the world's oldest continually running university. It is evocative with its wooden seating and marble dissection slab. It is beautifully decorated with wooden statues of famous historical physicians. I found myself sitting and imagining what students of centuries gone by may have witnessed.

Prosciutto

Near Udine, around an hour by bus, is the village of San Daniele del Friuli. Known for its prosciutto, it is obviously a great stop for a lunch or aperitivo. We visited two prosciutterie in the town. One was a smaller operation, with a family business feel. We had wine and a platter at the attached restaurant, and toured the curing legs. The second was a much larger scale, run by a multinational company, with a small museum and a large outlet shop.

We went to the cathedral, where a crowd of the faithful had gathered, to follow the crucifix through the streets of Udine. Candles and flaming torches were handed out as we left the piazza. Every now and then the procession would stop for a reading or to sing a hymn.
