Four days in Milan
A quick trip anywhere with the Chef means a decent meal for him and some great art for me, so when he suprised me with a short holiday in Milan, Leonardo's Last Supper was top of my ' things I really have to see ' list, but where would we eat?
Flying into Bergamo, the horn honked, we had a fanfare and ' Another Ryan Air flight arrives on time!'
The Chef looked pleased, 'We'll make lunch,' he said hailing a cab. He told me once that one of his greatest pleasures is taking a taxi ride through an unfamiliar city, enroute to a decent restaurant. I like it too, although for some strange reason, I always like to hum The Girl from Ipamena as it makes it even more exciting.
So the restaurant we were whizzing to in the mellow September sunshine was
in
The Chef mistakenly believed that our slot to see 'The Last Supper', was this afternoon, so, as time was short we had the 'Business Lunch' as opposed to the tasting menu. We ate, whizzed to Milan in another taxi, checked into the hotel, and whizzed in yet another taxi across the city to the Convent of Santa Maria della Grazie to admire Il Cenacolo.....only to be told our booking was for tomorrow!!!!
