Real spaghetti Bolognese in the home of the famous sauce- Bologna!

The best spag bowl we have had, so yummy! Lisa’s favourite food, she could eat it for every meal and we have been
testing it out everywhere we go in Italy! It has not disappointed!

Bologna was such a fabulous place. We only went there for the Bolognese but are so happy we did. Such a gorgeous town. We stumbled across winter markets, the once a year chocolate festival (chocolate in every shape you can imagine from salami to hammers!) and our favourite the deli’s in the side streets where we brought lots of tuffle olive oil- it is truffle season here in November!

We have been in Florence today which did not disappoint. We saw David and wondered around taking in the breathtaking views of the Tuscan region. Tomorrow we go on a full day winery/ Tuscan bus tour- happy to leave the car behind for a day! Nearly 5 weeks with the car and still not 100% natural driving on the ‘wrong side’ of the road!

Dialysis tip- simple but something I have been doing all my trip. I have a roll of gabage bags so each hotel I go to I have my own bin (rubbish bag) for my dialysis stuff- empty bags/ dressings etc. hotel bins are usually small and I fill them up after one bag!

Also I would recommend knowing how to say dialysis medical needs or similar, or having it written down in each of the languages you will need when travelling. I have been questioned when taking my bags/ heater into hotels or by cleaning staff who see the bags heating when they make up our room- for someone who is not familiar with dialysis etc it must look strange! I also had my permercath tube swabbed for explosives when coming through customs into Prague. They body searched me and felt something on my stomach. Although I had all my medical papers I could not explain in Czech what the tube was and it must have looked suspicious. It ended up not being an issue and once the explosive test came back clear I was free to go!

I am a 29 year old Australian who is traveling around Europe with dialysis. The purpose of this blog is to give other dialysis patients inspiration to travel on dialysis as traveling while on dialysis may be hard, it is not impossible.

  1. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
