Day 4
Genova, Italy to Padua, Italy -- 350km
The north of Italy in highway is not much interesting. But I never saw so many trucks! As the highway was a 3 lane, the trucks formed a compact and orderly line in the right lane, no problem for the cars.
Lots of rain, as it was a small distance no problem, and as our journey approached end the sky cleared.
Arriving in Padua (Padova in italian) was not a problem, and I was amazed with the difference from Genova. Everything was old but nice, clean, not much traffic, on the whole very pleasant.
After checking in the hotel and parking the car in a garage near by again having to let the car key in reception we went see the surroundings and see the famous Scrovegni Chapel. Beautiful interior.

| Scrovegni chapel |
An amazing church, not S.Antonio.
Torrichelli bridge - made me go back in time to high school...
When dinner time arrived, we went to one of the restaurants in this 'piazza'
And so ended a good day, time to go back to the hotel

| Our hotel room had a somewhat strange picture hanging on the wall over the bed |
Aaaah, I wish I saw the Scrovegni Chapel...
