Another year, another few days in Milan. I took a mere seven photos this time so I won’t keep any one from you.

Milan was our first trip after the first lockdown. It’s just a few hours by train from home. We should go more often. Great coffee at Orsonero, natural wines at Enoteca Naturale.

Every summer for many years, we traveled to Sardinia for our family’s summer vacation when I was a child. It must have been around fifteen years that I last joined. Last September, I went back with Seraina for a week. We drove to Genoa by car, boarded the ferry and arrived on this beauty of an island the next morning. The beaches were just as beautiful as I’d remembered them.

Back in August, my parents were kind enough to let me use their car for a few days so Seraina and I went on a 3-day trip to Italy, visiting four cities and one friend. First stop was the not so touristy but very beautiful city of Bologna, where we found a nice little room right next to the city center. The next day, we had lunch in Florence, before driving on to Siena to visit our dear friend Manuel at his parents’ wonderful country house. This place was magical.
