This week is the last week in Milan, then we move up into the hills permanety for the rest of the summer. We actually only have a week in the hills and then we go to Tuscany. Exciting.
Tried to go to church today but the trains were cancelled due to strikes so I couldn't make it. Hopefully they will be running next week! Luckily when you buy tickets they are valid for a month before you activate them so I can use them next week.
So instead we chilled at home. Played chess, watched super bike which is actually quite fun and of course the Germany Argentina football match. As Italy is out they were all rooting for Germany - and they won! Hooray! There's going to be a certain nearby Argentinan restaurant who are going to have I take their flags and balloons down today!
In the afternoon we went to a medieval village called Bobbio. To get to it all the roads are twisty and twiny. You drive through the mountains to get to it. We stopped of at a mountain pass where they normally go skiing in winter the air was so fresh and clear.
When we got to Bobbio it was raining. We met up with the family of a friend of Bea's who lives in Bobbio. We saw the church of San Colombo, the Duomo and saw Ponto Vecchio and had ice creams. My ice cream was meringue and chocolate.

We got back around seven thirty so we left late for Milan didn't return until ten thirty. Finished watching the football then went to bed.
Not the Ponto Vecchio from O Mio Babinno Caro? I think that went over the Arno. What does Vecchio mean?
ReplyDeleteVecchio means old. There are a lot of Ponto Vecchio's though so there is a good chance it isn't the same one.
