Looks like a great place to spend a day or
two...or three.

Paolo Badesco Interior Design - Milano
Another design store in Milan that I like to visit every
now and then, is that of Paolo Badesco. In this small
shop there are some really interesting pieces to be
found. The raw uncovered couch in the photo is a
favorite of mine. Take a look at the 'Archive' pages
on the website:

Spazio Rossana Orlandi is an Aladin's Cave
of unusual design pieces many of which are
one-offs. Rossana herself is one of the great
characters of Milan, as unique as the design
pieces she collects. If you're coming to Milan
then this gallery/store is well worth a visit.
You'll probably have to ring the door bell for
admittance.

Azulejos
Whilst in Sitges last weekend, I took a couple of
photos (the top two) of the beautiful 'azulejos'
in the courtyard behind the Sant Bartomeu y
Santa Tecla Church. They brought to mind my
visit (many years ago) to Lisbon in Portugal.
The rest of the photos I found on Internet just
to remind me of the beauty of these painted tiles.

Perfect for a cycling holiday with no hotel worries
Perfect for a cycling holiday. No need to book hotels
or make it to a destination by night fall...just as well
really as I guess the going wouldn't be easy with that
weight on your back. Not good on uphill climbs either.

Looks great. Can it be done?
