So I got a week of from work and we decided to go to Italy (again!) and this time Milan and the expo were our final destinations. Now as many of you have some kind of a rainy expectation of the British summer then I must tell that it is TRUE- it's been cold and cloudy and rainy and blergh... so much so that Mr. Special wanted to take all his hoodie collection with him to Italy... even after I recited the weather forecast: 35C sunny, 37C sunny, 40C sunny etc. You just can't imagine that there is a warm place anywhere in this earth when every day the view out of the window is blurred by rainfall...
So guess who was extremely happy when stepping out of the plane in the 10AM HEAT (what is morning coolness?) without a suitcase full of hoodies? Oh he put up a fight at home but as always...
And yes this is mostly a weather report :D How delightfully English of me :)
Monday: around 40 degrees, sunny (the day we were at lake Garda)
Tuesday: over 42 degrees, sunny (the day we decided to walk around Milan)
Wednesday: around 40 degrees, sunny (the Expo day)
Thursday: around 40 degrees, sunny (the day for Cinque terre)
Friday: around 40 degrees, sunny (the day that was spent in Verona)
Now I finally understand the all-inclusive lounging around the pool holidays. I've always thought that I'd be bored but in that heat (25C is my comfort level) we struggled to get out of the hotel and make worthwhile of our holiday... next time seeing that heat being forecasted you will find me by the pool working on my suntan ;)
Ps! I didn't even get nicely tanned because I was too afraid to get burnt so put on sunscreen all the time :( although the last days I wasn't very careful anymore... Where is my nice tan to show????????????? Unfair!
Ttyl ;)
