Ogni Santi
... to town for buisness, they added a side door to the dome in which the bishop could enter, because his villa was not in the direction of the official doors. We stayed with denises family, she kicked her brother out for a night, so we could sleep in his room, that was so very nice. her mom made pumpkin-gnocchi for dinner, hmm self-made italian cooking is very good.

We tried to eat it, but it fishy beyond fishy! Threw it in the bin and went out a second time to get kebabs. Much better option! Tip for life: always check the goods before leaving the store.
