10:14:37 My hotel room in Mantova just before I checked out in the morning. | 10:24:59 Passed Bar Caravatti on the way to the station, and took a couple more shots outside. | 10:25:07 | 12:45:50 Milano Centrale station. |
12:48:42 Outside Milano Centrale. | 13:44:09 My room at the Principe di Savoia hotel. I rather liked it here. | 13:46:06 Was struggling to take a picture of the bathroom, which was also rather nice, so ended up just taking a picture of myself in the mirror. | 14:57:49 The duomo. |
14:58:50 The window of the Camparino. | 14:59:06 Selection of Campari products. | 14:59:23 3 litre bottle of Campari anyone? | 15:08:50 Pied de poule (what we'd call houndstooth / puppytooth) seemed to be on display in a lot of tailors windows in Italy I noticed. I'd assumed I'd come to Milan in my puppytooth tweed looking like an English eccentric, was there a danger I was actually in fashion? |
15:43:15 The castle in Milan. | 15:52:54 The church opposite where Lorenzo was working. | 16:23:00 Now in the Camparino, as if the Campari branding doesn't give it away. | 16:27:12 Lorenzo in the Camparino. |
17:22:58 Now in Bar basso - the famous Negroni Sbagliato. | 17:47:19 Me and my second drink (a regular Negroni) in their iconic giant glass goblets. | 17:47:22 | 17:47:25 |
20:00:23 In the bar in the station waiting for Lorenzo's train. | 20:00:25 | 20:49:51 I rounded off the evening after Lorenzo had got the train back to Florence with this experimental Negroni in an experimental cocktail bar called Nottingham Forest. | 22:24:03 On the way back to my hotel I imagined I felt hungry, and ate this awful greasy pizza. |
22:48:02 Finally back at my hotel room, which hd a rather impressive door. |
