For some reason I awoke ridiculously early. I tried to get back to sleep but at 07.30 I gave up and went out to a nearby bakery for breakfast provisions. The streets were very different at that time of the morning.
I found a bakery and bought some croissants and focaccia for breakfast.
Paul and Jamie were due to arrive about lunch time, which they duly did, and once they’d dropped their stuff off we headed off for the treasure trail.
As is often the case with these treasure trails we saw parts of Milan, and in this case in particular some street art, which we would never otherwise have seen. I think the one that affected us most was “The wall of dolls “. This is an informal and changing art installation and memorial dedicated to remembering female victims of violence and murder. Very thought provoking
We ended the treasure trail almost back at our Airbnb and we decided it was time for a beer and some food
Later we went for more beer at the Irish Bar and met up with a few friends. And talked endlessly about Mo Salah.
and Mo Salah
Paul and I headed off back to the apartment quite early and had some red wine and chatted. And so to tomorrow. Match day.
