When I realized that our driving route to Rome would lead us past Mantova at an opportune time to stop, I thought it might be nice to see a town we'd liked last time. We were last here on our bike and barge tour that took us through the Veneto and into Venice. I remembered liking Mantova quite a bit and that it was surrounded by water - good for the water dog travelling with us. It was nice for a change to have a sense of the town. We parked in the parking lot where I'd had the unfortunate run in with the Tardis Toilet and wandered in through the city walls. Almost immediately we found a room at Residenza Bibiena. We walked around and enjoyed some drinks and snacks by the park, then for desert had a lovely gelato.
This morning we were up early to beat the heat and get a little exercise with the dog.
