After arriving in Gran Paradiso we basically enjoyed the nice weather and hiked every day. And every day we went to the camping restaurant which had a very extensive menu and the amount of food you would get was insane.

In this retaurant you would order 5 courses (which is normal in Italy), start with Antipasta (an appetiser), then get on with the Primi (usually some sort of Pasta), then Secundi (main course), then Insalatas (salads, which you can usually also get before the Primi but is suppose to be after the Secundi) and then end with Dolce (deserts).

However in this restaurant each course could've been an entire meal and it was dirty cheap. So I ate so so much here. For example:
For my Secundi I would take deer meat and where you in a normal restaurant would get one or two piecies here you got 5 (which were all very good).

So if you ever go to Italy be prepared for big portions, but the Pasta's are the best you'll ever eat!
Then you can go to one of the typical italian (and french) toilets they have, which I definately did not like using very much:


Ok back to Hiking, we came across this sign:


It's a good thing they are so clear on that...
And here would be the houses you would stay in:


Here a pic of me wearing euro-shorts (sorry Matt, I was back in Europe again)


We saw someone pee down the mountain, although it might've just been the mountain...


And more WaterFalls:


One last view of the glaciers before we left for Milano



So on my second to last day we went to Milan, because there was where I flew from and we decided it was a good opportunity to visit Milan's Cathedral, The Dome.
We got a nice 4star hotel and started walking downtown.
We came across all these ripped off Comunist posters, I guess they're still trying to get that going


The city of Milan is so full of traffic it's insane, everywhere you look are parked cars and they have streets long of parking for motors:


So we finally arrive at the Dome




Some people find it very ugly, others don't.
Also inside the dome there are about 50 huge windows which tell stories in pictureform:


Another thing about Milan is that they have a 'white bike plan'. Which means that there are bikes scattered through the city where you can just pick one up and leave it at another place so you don't really 'own' your own bike but everyone uses the same bikes.



Another thing I came across and all I can say is WTF...


Weird bike we came across:


And that was Milano,
Back in the hotel I had a really weird toilet... a square one... it did not sit comfortable, luckily there was an asswasher next to it



And that concludes this short TR for a 9 day trip
Had lots of fun, ate to much food, hiked in beautifull mountains and am very tanned.

Now I'll have to get back to playing poker although I'll make a book type review in my next blog post on the books I've read while being on vacation.

Robin out.
