Geo: 45.4637, 9.18813Well, our last full day here and it was a good one. We're both pretty sore and tired, feet and backs are feeling like we're old people... Don't say it!Started off rather late as mentioned in the last post and got to the Duomo line for the roof around 12 ish? It was again at the 90-minute wait mark so we went to the Duomo Museum first, rented the audio guide for 6 euros and it was a good museum, pictures to follow. No lines here just walked right in, I guess they're all over in line for the roof top. The tickets to the Duomo were really worth the money I thought, for 15 euros you get into the Duomo, Archeological site, Museum, another small church, and get to ride the elevator to ... read more

Geo: 45.4637, 9.1881313th Milano Milano is a very big city and we had a friend of ours, that lived in Nanjing, was back home for the holidays so we met up with her in Milano. We met up in town at the famous book store La Feltrinelli. From there you can see the famous green apartment block Bosco Verticale - green vertical towers is 27-stories high and is the home to the world's first vertical forest. We had lunch at her house and then she took us to a really cool Art Gallery. Biococca Hanger. It was an industrial Work Site that has been transformed into an amazing space. Unfortunately it was closed but the side door was opened so we snuck in. I am so glad we did. There had been a private function the ... read more

V autobuse bolo v noci veselo ako vzdy. Niektori jedinci spustili aj milanske chorale. A treba uznat,ze im to islo velmi dobre. Vacsina busu sa vsak nepridavala, nalejme si cisteho vina, neovladame to. Spanok ako to vo vyjazdovom buse byva nic moc. Nieco pred 7/00 to definitivne vzdavam a o zaspatie sa uz nesnazim. Kolegovci z hlavneho mesta vytahuju rizky, urcite su kuracie, bo oni prasata nezeru :) Okolita krajina je uzasna, domceky, policka, vinice, kopceky avsak ako sa blizime k cielu krajina sa meni uz len na sklady a logisticke centra. Tesne pred bergamom mame dlhsiu zastavku v autogrile. Uzaj padim otestovat zachod. Sedatko nikde, furt to splachovalo, tak veru ziadne velke tronenie sa nekona. V autogrile si davam kapucinko, pytal som grande, tetula mi ale dala medium. S blockom od pokladni sa presuvame k ... read more

31 octobre 2015 C'est lors du souper de l'action de grâce que la question est sortit: “mais pourquoi allez-vous faire ça?” C'est ma mère, entre deux gorgées de vin blanc, qui l'avait lancée. “Vous allez visiter les villes au moins? Et voir Venise? La tour de Pise? Et puis les musées, et le Vatican? C'est 1 mois en Italie les gars, non?” C'est que mon frère et moi avons le projet de marcher le long de la Via Francigena, du village de Berceto jusqu'à Rome, pour un total de 25 jours de randonnée. Voilà le projet: ce sera 1 mois de marche en pleine campagne italienne, ce qui signifie de porter sur presque 600 kilomètres, un 10 kilo de packsack chacun. En moyenne, on devra ainsi parcourir entre 20 et 30 kilomètres par jour, durant ces ... read more
