Italy al dente (6)

Student's night
We reached Giulia's place quite late. Our host served fantastic dinner - rice on butter with saffron and cheese and lemoncello (sweet lemonish liquor). After we went for Student's Night. Every Wednesday night students gather in the city, drink and have fun.
We managed to reach the place before bar were closed. We bought two bottles of local wine and drank it to celebrate Giulia's exam and end of out Italin trip.

Problem in Bologna
Next day we woke up late as we wanted to be fresh after long way home. We ate fantastic fresh vegetables from market and not so tasty bread and we started to pack. How did we manage to place all souvenirs in bags? Easily, we left our towels at Giulia's place :D Oh, Justyna was almost heartbroken to leave her beloved bedsheet.
30 minutes later we were on train station. Unfortunatelly, ticket mashine didn't have change so it printed "ticket" to exchange for money in ticket office. As we had only few minutes till our train, we decided we will take money in Bologna and there we made two mistakes:
1. Instead of exchanging ticket to money immediately we decided to drink coffee first;
2. We forgot to check the time of flight on tickets.
Effects: one hour (!) of waiting in queue to ticket office and stress if we will get on board. (we needed money from this ticked to take ATC Aerobus).
We reached airport 10 minutes before closing the gate and another problem happened at security check. Border guard discovered something during scan of Justynas bag - what the hell? We don't have anything metal there! Wrong! After taking out ALL things from Justyna's bag, border guard saw corkscrew in J's handbag. True, last night we used it to open wine bottle and we totally forgot about it. Shame on us. Well, luckily we were on time to pass the gate, even if with opened bags and clothes hanging on our arms. Probably they saw how desperated we were.

Back in Poland
Fortunaltelly, that was the end of our problems and we reached home safely. I think that this trip I will never forget ;)
