End of week 4 and what a good week we have had. Highlights were a failed attempt to get to Milan - couldn't find entrance to car park, even using GPS and by the time we found it, the train was gone... Oh, well wasn't meant to be. In fact, not hot on going to Milan, but just want to be able to say "have done it" or more likely, not wanting to regret it, if we don't.
Stayed in Reggio yesterday and had a really nice day. The full market was on. Mostly trash clothes but I did buy a top for 10 euros ! and then after a proper Summer storm in the afternoon, went into town for a meal. Came across an Italian group playing in the Piazza. Really strange being in a 500 year old square, overlooked by a part medieval church and listening to The Strokes music - so Alan tells me, anyone that knows me, knows also that I am tone death, neither can sing, nor can recognise music...SAD.. it was great though.
One for Richard - the Italian word for "change to" is "passa", and there is this mobile company called Wind. So, it does amuse me to hear this advert urging people all the time to "Passa a wind!!!". I know, boys toilet humour, but am sure Rick and Neill will appreciate it.
Today was Mantova. beautiful and had 2 amazing castles. One was that elaborate that by the end of it, I could neither move my neck, from looking at the heavily painted ceilings, nor distinguish between one room and another. Amazing, but sometimes too much. You need hours in each room to fully appreciate it. Loved it though. Recommend it..
