Leaving "The Twig" Again

Lady and The Tramp 'Liquorish Styles' in Venice

So from my previous post you know I'm off to Milan again. Hip Hip Hooray. The only thing that really sucks about going so far away, is missing the girl. For you who know Twiggy, she is small enough to fit in my suitcase and I am sitting here wishing that I could squish the little critter in a big bag and bring her along. This is sadly not the case and she will be staying behind pursuing her career in the big wide world that is Sydney.

Even in this world of virtual sex, yoga and walking robots, you still cant pack hugs, kisses or cuddles. Now I aint no poof, but a guy needs a nice big hug from his women at least once a day to keep him going and I'm going to miss them for four weeks. Man that's like 30 something hugs give or take the extra hug thrown in there for good effort days :), far out!

So this blog post is dedicated to the little lady in my life that I'm going to miss too too too much. I'm probably going to get skinned alive for putting these pics up, but you know what I've always been a causeless rebel so here goes. These few shots are from when Liv came to Milan last July.

Milano Milan Here I Come...

So at the end of the week I'm heading back to Milan for a wee visit. Yeehaa!
Milan is a beautiful city in its own right but what really gets me about the city is the fact that you can escape to the most beautiful, life-changing areas in Italy on the weekends. Just great.
My favourite place to disappear to is Piedacavallo, in Biella. The times that I have spent in Piedacavallo have changed my life.

The serenity is amazing. You are able to really sit back and think about who you are to yourself. Forget about all the worlds problems and just focus on nothing for a change. The view from my window is unbelievable. I look out on a bell tower that I kid you not rings every 15 minutes.

This makes sure that all the little Catholics can't say they didn't know what the time was, and are always on time. The surrounding Swiss Alps provide scenery that could put your gran into cardiac arrest. The waterfall below is a 2o minute walk from where I stay and all the Italians are too lazy to ever walk there, so I am normally the only one taking the plunge. And fark the water is freezing.

Overall this is my favorite place on planet earth at present.
