Out of Africa

Well we head into Milan for a spot of retail therapy, lady luck is definitely now on our side, as thanks to "Adyano" we have got a free room upgrade !

We have got to grips with the underground system and firstly head to the " Duomo " which is where there is a huge cathedral that has fantastic spires and architecture . After climbing 300 steps, its certainly worth the view across Milan at the top of the cathedral ( although was slightly out of breath ! )





Now we have the tourist bit out of the way, yes, its retail therapy time !
I'm in my element !!.... After 6 hours, our feet give in ( well "Adyano's" does ), and we head back to the hotel.

To be honest we have both hit a brick wall when it comes to Italian food. I don't think either of us can face another Pizza or Pasta dish...we are done !

So we need to find some alternative...

So we look to our trusty friend " trip advisor ", lucky for us, the number 1 rated restaurant ..... Is not Italian !!!!! ( I told you our luck had changed ! )...it is in fact African !!!

So we head to Africa ... and it was fantastic !!! So if you are ever in Milan I would totally recommend " Ristorante Warsa ". Now its no ordinary restaurant, so you just have to go with it. Firstly there are no menu's, they have one dish !!! But the food is wonderful. You get presented with a large gigantic flat bread with a type of spicy beef dish in the centre, on the outside are all sorts of accompaniments such as cous cous, chickpeas etc etc. The second difference is you get no cutlery - you eat with your hands using extra pieces of this soft flat bread. You sit on low seating and the ambience is great. Once you have finished with the beef, they then bring out a chicken dish for the centre of your flat bread. After the huge meal ( yes don't forget Adyano is still on his diet !!! ), Adyano said he felt like he could audition for the film " Run, Fat Boy, Run " !!!!! ( To be honest there was no running to be had, as we had both rolled out of the restaurant. ! ), more shopping is required tomorrow to burn of the calories !!!!

Well its good bye pasta and hello Frogs Legs for our next blog. Yes tomorrow we will be in the South of France. Our last and final "Ciao Ciao"
