Week 17 - Day trips

Week beginning April 20th

We went to Monza for lunch with John, and looked inside duomo. No photos allowed inside, suffice to say it is decadently decorated.
 

Mum and Dad successfully returned from Como. On Monday I took the three of them to Monte Vecchio. Sadly, almost everything was shut on the small mountain.

We had a wander around, enjoying the sunshine, but returned to Vimercate for lunch. Dad found a plaque comemmorating Maria Agnesi, the woman who discovered a mathematical curve now called the Witch of Agnesi.

 

On Tuesday, all the travellers left, Mum and Dad to Bologna, Ravenne, Venice and Salzburg, John to Venice. I confess to being apprehensive seeing him go, but at lease he has my address and phone number now! John successfully negotiated his way back on Thursday with minimum fuss, so was ready for an outing on Friday. Jupy and I took him to Cassano D'Adda to kick back beside the Adda river on a day with glorious weather.

 

It also features this vista, just fabulous. Jupy and I walked whilst John read and relaxed at a cafe here.

 

In this main square is a tree they estimate to be over 400 years old. Some luck flat has a feature window enjoying it's charms.

Juz got back late Friday night, we had a lazy weekend. John left on Saturday and got home very late that night. We bought a hedge trimmer that I tried out on Sunday, could be addictive!
