Reggio Emilia

There were only the three of us this day so we drove around the streets looking for a parking spot, we weren't particular where we parked we just wanted to look around the town. We eventually found a parking spot over the road from a zoo but as we found out later this was a restricted area and we received a very hefty fine for parking there. We walked to the piazza and noticed there was a festival happening here and then walking around further we noticed the museum so we thought we would have a look here before walking over to check out the 'celebration of France festival'. The museum was in the older style as we had seen many times around Italy where there are cabinets of samples and they are set up in rooms focusing on similar items. I like this style of museum and I enjoyed looking at their samples of everything from paper to body parts. After we had finished here we walked over to have a look at the stalls set up for the festival. There were stalls selling everything, spices, drinks, cakes, clothing and food stalls where you could buy something for lunch, however, we decided to visit one of the small cafes on the edge of the piazza for lunch.
