monday 4th Fiorenze to Hotel Flora

Monday 4 Oct

Firenze to Milano  on the super fast treno. We are getting good  at  bagging bikes in 10 minutes flat on the binario. The day started well with a long postage stop to create vacumes. The shoes went, the books about Venice went and the museo cyclisme tee also…..all via the last form for the long road home.
Once again we emerge at the Hotel Flora and Angelo who is a steady and real soul with his apartment plans on the navigli to keep his ageing brain sharp with tourist talk.
We enjoyed the green décor again and sumptuous breakfast of oats. The first  and last in Italia…..
Then off to shop for some Milanese fashion..shoes   of the right size at a shop discovered on line in Canberra proved shoe flurry fulfilling….then a big bieri with snacks and décor  of two tone purples and plasti marble.
Then a crowd for Pizza and a very correct and tigt bodied gentleman to serve us a plate of spinach which proved the lovely Italian way of cucina which we will miss as we roll off around Lac  Leman.
