Waking up this morning to an empty bed, Peter and Ben had left on their road trip.

After sharing breakfast with Orazio and Emanuele, I went on a road trip with Emanuele, leaving Orazio home as he had to study . Orazio is a Lawyer, and he was doing another degree.

Emanuele drove us to see a property in Pieve Emanuele, where he was to meet a client and discuss architectural plans. The house had been on the market and had been sold recently. The original owners were still living in the residence two elderly ladies, possibly Lesbians. I think my 'Gaydar' was in full force. The Ladies were welcoming and offered us a drink which we kindly accepted.

Pierre Emanuele, is pretty and backs onto Parco Agricola Sud Milano which is a protected rural area located south and south-east of Milan. The park was established in 1990 with the purpose of preserving, safeguarding, and enhancing the natural and historical heritage of the Po Valley.  It is 47,000 hectares wide and shaped like a half-circle, located between Milan and the southern border of its Province. It also connects two other large protected natural areas: Trinco Park to the west and Adda Park to the east .

We returned back to Emanuele and Orazio's apartment to have lunch with Orazio, before joining Emanuele for a session at his local gym.

For dinner we joined a friend of Emanuele and Orazio, Angelica and we dined at a restaurant called 'Mong Kok', an Asian restaurant with great food. Mondo was at the table, can you believe it! You can take you dog to a restaurant! 

After dinner we picked up Mondo and took him on a long walk and stopped at a kiosk and we enjoyed a gelato. The flavours are delicious...Chocolate Noir, Sicilian Cassata and Amarena (Black Cherry).

Saying goodbye to Angelica we returned back to the apartment and retired for the evening.
