Day 2
Yesterday afternoon we took the bikes and cycled into Palmanova, into the heart of the star. The buildings are mostly 17th Century and beautiful, despite the thunderous clouds looming behind them.
We visited a little shop for gelato which was exceptionally flavoursome.
I did stand out with my summery clothes, whilst everyone else was dressed for cooler weather! Apparently this is cold for June. Today it is 18 degrees with highs of 23.
This morning I'd set my alarm for 7.30 and we were up to take Aurora to nursery, once again on the bikes as it is only a 10 minute cycle away.
I find that it is hard to wake up in the mornings as the shutters block out all the light! I could sleep for ages. (No change there!)
I was talking to Greta and she said that Italy, although great for tourists, is not the best place to live. Apparently it was only 70 years ago that women got the vote! She also said that corruption is quite big over here, with it being common for people to avoid paying tax. More common than England it would seem.
