This is animals in our camping site in Milan. We found many more animals there, rabbit, goat, chicken, duck, turkey. It seems that the owner were fond of them or he wanted to make a zoo. But it was a nice camping site, green and cool under trees. The camping name was Campeggio Citta di Milano. Situated a bit outside of the city center but you could reach the city center easily with the car or public transport (bus then metro)

Our first meal in Milan, ok it didn’t look that appetizing but it was an ok camping food. It was tuna with beans, all from cans. Sort of chili con carne.. NOT. We ate it with instant mashed potato.

And this is the famous David by Michelangelo. This one is the original one and you could find him in Galleria dell’Accademia. My guide book said I should book the ticket in advance to avoid long queue, but I didn’t do that and yes there were queue but was not as bad as the guide said. It was not allowed to take picture inside of the museum but you don’t call someone a paparazzi for nothing. As for me amateur paparazzi.

Not everyday passed by in Italy without Italian Ice Cream. As it was so hot, humid and we had to walk long distance everyday to reach all the touristic area. But beware where you buy yours as prices vary especially in crowded area. Better have a good look around and see the price on the wall if you don’t want to get nasty surprise.

This is Piazza della Segnoria, the centre of Florence. You can find cafes and street musician here. In the back is an open museum, where you could go inside and look for free. Here you can find the fake David statue in front of Palazzo Vecchio.

I bought these in a sort of foo boutique, Peckish. They were pricey I remember. But I couldn’t resist myself.
