There are magnificent things to see in Ravenna; photographs
are pointless in conveying the scale and intricacy in the craft you may find there. I can only share tiny things I saw next to things that sustain
open-mouthed staring for several minutes.
Ravenna has grand mosaics in the true sense of grand but at some point I stopped
looking. I saw bamboo flapping against
the top of a high wall. Of course I found a gap to spy through and was rewarded
with a daffodil garden and six white peacocks just before it got too dark to
see.
We only just made our train back and then decided to take the
next one anyway and spend an hour exploring the joy that is a supermarket in a
foreign place.
Visit Ravenna, the city bikes are free and the mosaics are
heavy on gold (and old).
(I found sugar-paper confetti on the pavement outside the
train station)
