      Well, its different.

      June 22 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F

      Syd and Ralph headed out to a nail salon down the street to get Syd a touch up. On the way a man was sharpening his shank on a concrete street post while holding out his hat for money. There is graffiti everywhere, and not the pretty kind. It’s sad, really. Beautiful facades defaced from the ground to eye level. It makes the place look like the shit parts of Oakland.

      Syds not comfortable here alone.      Read more

      Traveler  How sad and alarming ... be vigilant!

      Our new best friend

      May 2 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      So, after receiving a recommendation of where to go this evening for somewhere to eat (thanks Cheryl Davies), unfortunately it was the other side of Milan. So we resolved to return to the lovely restaurant we visited yesterday. And we were welcomed back like long lost family. Francesco, the owner/chef, came over to greet us personally, and to thank us for coming back. We were then given additional food and drink throughout the evening and were thoroughly spoiled.
      Fantastic.      Read more

      Traveler  Lovely experience 🥰

      Hotel Marconi

      June 21 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F

      A beautiful hotel in Milano covered in marble and gold leaf. Traditional, classic decor.

      We’re only here one night but it’s enough time to experience the rooftop bar on floor 9. Great views of the city.Read more

      Milano Day 2

      July 5 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      31,000 steps today. Enough said. I walked and walked and walked and sightsaw and did all the things today! One thing about Milan is that every building is an art piece- the architecture is a sculpture in itself, it’s beautiful. My eyes were never on the ground. I saw many ‘palazzo’s’ which were just nice buildings- but every building was a nice building. I went into the church of San Gregorgio which was smaller, but the thing about churches here is that they are filled with sculptures and artwork, it’s literally a museum.
      After some of that, I walked through two parks- one of which had a water turtle home which was so cute. After more walking, I met up with one of my hostelmates- Blanca (who’s birthday is also October 6th😆) who is an 18 year old girl from a small town in Germany (she said it takes 8 minutes to walk across the whole thing). We had some pizzas and then parted ways. I went to use the toilet next door, just to find that it would not be a toilet…
      After, I went to see the Sforzesco Castle, which honestly, was mostly ugly. After, I headed over to the main attraction, the Duomo Milano Cathedral which was big and beautiful. There were insane sculptures and stained glass images, each of which told stories of rich history. Now, I’m not really Christian, but I could really appreciate the the art and craft of the church. The pictures do not do it justice whatsoever. Fun fact, it took about 600 years to complete. Also- i did my university course registration in the church LOL
      After 8 hours of walking, I felt that it was time to head back to the hostel. I met my new hostelmate- Aleksandra, from Estonia, and three girls from Paris, in the kitchen. Blanca very kindly made me some pasta for dinner, and everyone else was making pasta too (is this a disgrace to Italian food?!). We shared wine, music, and stories until we got kicked out of the common space at 12am. We had the bright idea to continue our antics and try to find a bar, but Milano is a DEAD CITY, and everything closes so early. We went as far as to bus to the lone club that is open til 5, but there is no way that im paying €25🙄🙄. After searching for a motive for about 2 hours we gave up and headed home.

      Our luck continues-Salernitano dal 1978

      May 1 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      So after travelling via bus and train for 10 hours from Salzburg to Milan, existing on a croissant and coffee for breakfast and a shared caprese roll grabbed in Verona train station, we were exhausted and hungry by the time we arrived at our apartment.
      We dropped off our bags and headed for the nearest restaurant. How fortunate were we that it happened to be Ristorante Salernitano Dal 1978? The food was gorgeous; or did it taste that good because we were so hungry? Well, we'll soon find out because we are going back there tonight! It was that good.      Read more

      Kis esti séta

      September 16, 2019 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      Vacsi után gondoltuk még csak sétálunk egyet a környéken hogy lejárjuk a kaját. Ekkora szerencséje is csak a gyereknek lehet hogy mikor megkérdezte miért nem megyünk játszótérre, amit persze gugli térkép szerint nem találsz a környéken és már kezdenél magyarázkodni, a sarkon túl belebotlasz a Giardino Orso Marcello térbe ami egy fullos játszi. Szóval ő lemozogta a kaját 😁😁
      Fél 10 után sikerült végre elindulni a hotelhez de ha már nagy séta nem volt kerestünk egy fagyizót. Mini és kis adag fagyikat kértünk de így is volt 20 perc mire meg tudtuk enni 😳      Read more

      Museums and Palaces

      December 19, 2017 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 0 °C

      Today was quite a wonderful day. Weather was cold but sunny and we did a lot of walking. One gorgeous art museum, one 15th century castle and a lot of detours down pretty residential streets made for a full day. Highlights of the museums --!a 12th century holy water bucket, some Romanesque capitals, a Picasso painting and the pieta Michelangelo was carving when he died.

      On the way back to the hotel around 5 pm, we passed a fitness center about 3 minutes from the hotel. Since Joe was going to rest anyway, I decided to go work out on the elliptical. 15€ is quite a steep charge, but it's worth it. I am addicted, let's face it. But it was a much better workout than yesterday, when I walked up and down four flights of stairs in the hotel for an hour.

      We had dinner tonight in a lovely Osteria called Fara. Close to the hotel. Great ambiente and top notch pizza in a wood oven. One more day in Milan. Love to you all.      Read more

      Dana Davies  I loved Milan too! Your pictures are wonderful. The one of Joe outside the green grocery reminded me when I was there and a Milanese friend of my father’s passed by a window at a food shop and declared that the items were displayed like “jewels.”

      Traveler  So beautiful, even the fresh produce! You’ve already convinced me that this is a fine time of year to travel there!

      Sightseeing Milano Teil II

      July 24, 2021 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Als erstes hatte Benni Lust, auf dem Wochenmarkt zu schlendern, der war direkt vor der Haustür.
      Danach ging es erstmal weiter mit der U-Bahn zum örtlichen Friedhof. War sehr beeindruckend, aber Benni hatte Angst, er blieb da lieber in der Tasche.
      Da machte ihm die Aussicht auf Fußball doch mehr Spaß. Er durfte sogar in die Umkleidekabinen von Inter Mailand und AC Mailand. Das San Siro gehört nämlich beiden!
      Nachdem Benni auch noch Züge angucken durfte im Hauptbahnhof ist er jetzt ganz müde und brauchte schon ne Brille

      Irány az első szállás

      September 16, 2019 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

      Az autóipar csodája: röpke 1,5 óra alatt egy fehér jeep renegade átalakult fekete fiat 500L-re, ugyanis mire sorra kerültünk, a renegade-ok elfogytak 😁Mondjuk az is igaz hogy a foglalásban ezt jelezték is azzal hogy az Ön által foglalt autó: Jeep Renegade vagy hasonló. De igazából az a lényeg hogy menjen, és szerencsére már android auto kompatibilis így nem kell azzal szenvedni hogy hova tegyem a telefont a waze-val.
      Szóval irány a mai szállásunk, a Hotel Aurelia (Via Nicola Piccinni, 25, 20131 Milano MI). Bookingos foglalás, egész jókat írtak róla, közel van a Milánóban tök jól kiépített metro hálózat Loretto megállójához, és kifejezetten olcsón adták.
      Mire ide értünk már majdnem fél 8 volt, köszönhetően az Interrentnek és a forgalomnak így végül már nem vágytunk metrózni csak valami primi piattit ehessünk valahol.
      A szállás egyébként meglehetősen egyszerű, semmi csicsa, egy ágy 3munknak meg egy kb 2m2-es fürdő. De a személyzet kedvesnek tűnik. A helyi barátom mikor a szálloda előtt találkoztunk 10 percre mondjuk mondta hogy az Oroszoké, de hátha nem ma lesz a nagy leszámolás 😁
      Na irány enni...
      Szintén a barátunk ajánlott egy Sziciliai éttermet a környéken így azt indultunk el megkeresni. Meg is találtuk közel a Lorettohoz a Trattoria Gattopardo Due Siciliano-t. Rendeltünk egy cavatelli argentina (paradicsomos sajtos cukkinis) meg egy pasta di sicilia tésztát (olivás kapribogyós, fűszeres), Brúnónak meg a biztonság kedvéért még egy sült krumplit is. A cavatellit konkrétan hattyú formájúra tekergetett alufóliában tálalták, és kifejezetten finom volt. És ha már sziciliai akkor kellett hozzá egy sziciliai sör is 😁      Read more

      Milano loodusmuuseum

      July 1, 2015 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Indrek valis tänaseks välja loodusmuuseumi. See oli võrreldes Tartu omaga ikka kõvasti suurem ja vingem. Esimene tuba oli putukate evolutsioonist- värvilised liblikad ja hiigelsääsed. Üks tuba keskendus tänapäevasele rämpsule ehk kui kaua näiteks plastik vm prügi tegelikult laguneb. Nägime veel dinosaurusi ja muid maailma elukaid. Dinosaurused on ikka päris vinged.Read more
