We travelled first class by Eurostar from Florence to Milan in the Eurostar. The speed got to 300 km per hour at one stage. Quite amazing. Reece didn't realise he bought first class... But hey it was nice. Aircraft like seats. ....
We have a fab apartment near the train station with separate living and bedroom and a BIG decent shower. The Italians like the French have stupid pokey showers.... We even stayed home last night and cooked egg and tomato. Good not to go out. We had a big walk down Buenos aires rd where all the normal shops are. Will probably go to the markets today. I have pedicure at 1300 . Very hard to find places as they don't have outside advertising. I got the name of this beauty place from the concierge here, bit to find it a different matter. I asked couple of people on the street for the number etc, finally got to it but it all looked so dark up stairs and funny rickety lift.These buildings are really fantastic. so big, huge ceilings, huge entrance halls, huge windows with outside shutters, double glazing, curtain then inside shutter. Any way got it and it is beautiful. There was a brass plaque on the outside of the building ..no neon signage etc. very discreet.
Am reading a Patricia Cornwall book ...always a bit gory.
Love. Pen
