      LAGO DEL ISEO

      April 17 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Wir kommen am Nachmittag am See Lago de Iseo an. Eigentlich wollten wir zum Gardasee, das Wetter ist wechselhaft und ich wollte den naheliegenden See kennenlernen. Er ist sehr schön und nicht so arg touristisch wie der Gardasee.
      Die Insel Isola ist mit einem Boot erreichbar.
      Wir steuern zwei Campingplätze an. Beide waren geschlossen obwohl im Internet geöffnet stand.
      Johann ist genervt und müde. Er geht einkaufen.
      Wir stellen uns auf einen Parkplatz einer Pizzeria und gehen Abendessen.
      Naja .....

      Ich übernehme das Steuer und fahre los. Auf einem großen Parkplatz, direkt am See bleibe ich stehen. Hier kann man problemlos übernachten..
      Die gebackenen Calamari habe ich heute Nacht erbrochen.

      Milan without the gloss

      September 25, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      We were late leaving our medieval palace as busy stuffing our faces with delicious pastries. OMG!!! Still warm from the oven 🤪

      First big mistakes made by me. Eric did a marvellous job negotiating the crazy drivers and Autobahn speeds. I lost my money card at the lunch stop probably as was throwing a tantie 😒 but did not realize till much later. (I emailed cafe and they found it and chopped it up for me) 😱

      Mistake 2: It must have been a late night when I booked our accom in Milan. My recollection was 2 minutes walk from the Central train station in the city but instead found ourselves 25 minutes out in a very strange, dodgy area in a big black coloured hotel. Next door were a huge dilapidated ghetto style building that didn't appear very old. 😩

      Decided was safest to stay in our rooms and play 500 (card game) and drink our purchased wine. Bit of a scuffle ensued a few times with bickering over levels of poured wine and kitty hogging.

      Dinner was just plain weird.

      So no stomping on bull testicle in Milan square, no window gazing at flashy things, no Milanese food 😥

      Early to bed as early start as need to travel back into city to catch train into the mountains.

      Milano

      May 15, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Saw the sights in Milan today.. Castello Sfrozesco, Parco Sempione, Il Duomo..
      Warm for us Brits here, even now and its only May!!
      We climbed the steps up to the top of Il Duomo (its cheaper) and the view was as impressive there as the interior.
      Saw all the Italian elite out shopping. Wandering past Prada in my primark trousers I must admit I mentioned to Stuart that if we cut out trip short by a month I could buy myself a bag...
      Hotel is really good - huge room and good breakfast - but onto our first night camping tomorrow. Heading down to Tuscany to attempt to erect the tent without our tent assistant Soph :) wish our marriage good luck!
