Last weekend in Alagna

This weekend is our last weekend in Alagna. It was mostly cloudy today but a lot better than the initial forecast. Both Hayley and Phoenix had their 'handbrake' moments today but nothing that drill instructor Bouhuys couldn't fix. We stay at Hotel Monterosa, which has a super cosy and friendly bar under it where we have our intimate apres-ski with Italian wine

Amarone express

Today we visited Giuseppe Nicolis in Valpolicella to order some more fine Amaroni. The old Benz did enjoy stretching its legs again although the US speed limiter renders it defenseless beyond 220 km/h

Hayley and I on our terrace

With the spring in full swing in Milan, Hayley and I are enjoying our breakfast in the sun. Wonderful weather and hot, too bad our balcony only has the sun on it until 11am...

Mila


Just a quick photo of my parents' dog Mila enjoying a monster bone I bought at the village market earlier that day. She is so cute!!!

More from Milan

Today it was a lovely day in Milan, close to 15 degrees! We went to Porta Ticinese and had a few beers in the sun. The other photos are from last weekend at our neighbours (Claudia & Andrea) when they had their parents over from Sicily
