It was so lovely to see Helen, though not when we realised our friendship is now over two decades old. How did that happen?! We had a happy catch up over prosecco and tiramisu on Friday then spent Saturday sightseeing in Milan before going to watch some Welsh rugby. An apperitivo on the canals summed up our Milanese day nicely!
On Sunday it was a rather wet day but we headed over to Bergamo to go exploring. I randomly bumped into a couple of friends so we spent a few hours with them....I was very happy to realise that they both had an umbrella! Helen and I had zero! Bergamo is a beautiful hillside medieval town. It is so quaint and pretty.

I definitely need to go back...as the rain was rather miserable and I lost the motivation to see much as was cold and wet! Ducking into little cafes for coffees and croissants cheered us up though! The streets were narrow and cobbled, and it had traditional beautiful Italian architecture. Definitely a place to go back to and relax in.

Notice who is holding the umbrellas?! ;) Yoink! |
