The final leg of the 18 day trip before heading to suisse ended in Milan where Mama Rug met up with Dad and I in Milan. We stayed at Dad's Great Aunty's place where she and her son lived. They didnt speak any english either but it was good to have mum to speak to as well instead of Dad having to do all the talking.
We split up the week by having a cheeky couple of days in Venice where we stayed at a hotel which was built in the 400s. Yes, the place is 1600 years old. They've done it up a bit since then to a 5 star hotel but just to think what it was like when it was first built and to have so many people go through there. Blows minds
