How Many Ten Sports In Nilesat?



Sunday, June 10, I decided to to visit the Certosa di Pavia, but obviously a good rider I have not been content to leave home and get straight to the goal ..!
Me and my faithful traveling companion, we left around 10:00 .. Gatton, Arona, Oleggio, Novara, Mortara ... so far nothing exciting if not beautiful plains and straight roads in the middle of the lower down .... . (and this time I'm not talking about you Francesca ...!).
The day is sunny and warm .. I'm heading to the Pass Penice earhook to some fun ... .. and there it finally started to climb the road .... around here and there .... round a hairpin bend after another. .. but my eyes go up to heaven and I see ... too dark threatening clouds, but I certainly do not have to go there ... right ?!?.... But no ... we get on top of the pitch, I just had time to realize that MotoTortello is in progress and begins to rain. . what to do? ... no delay: until the road is dry and a ride down into the valley, where the sun shines and where we stop for lunch!
headed off again at 14.00 and its Pavia Charterhouse where we expect the future and the future father-in-law (in his first motorcycle ride ).... unfortunately the flashes of alternating clear and heavy rains that slowed down allowing us to be more that the meeting on time!
We visit the Certosa, initially with style Tourists DIY .. then we aggregate Monaco who is explaining to the interior of the Basilica: apparently this is the only way to access the two cloisters that seem to be worth a visit ... and so, even if we have to put up with the Monaco for almost an hour for charity .... very interesting ... but it's always an hour!
But it is also high time back, let the cognatina Pavia to face another week of intense and university back home we share is 18.00 .... .... we can arrive at your destination at 21.00, having spent an hour under a bridge of Pavia waiting for it to pass the hailstorm that apparently was waiting for us were moving to unleash its full power! During the trip we lose count of the times in which we christen the time you get home ..... we will take the bike dripping with water but satisfied this time of day!

Ingredients To Brazilian Wax

Pavia and environs for a quiet Sunday



In case you want to spend a quiet Sunday, enjoying in the past, I recommend a visit to the Castle Fenis: For those who do not know the geography is in the Val d'Aosta, just on the street called "Road of Castles". Before arriving in Fenis can be admired, from Pont Saint Martin, the fortress of Bard (much more beautiful and impressive if you look on the way back) and the Castles of Chatillon, of Ussel Issogne, Verre. I saw them only passing on the road, I then stopped at Saint Vincent (mostly out of curiosity to see the Casino ... for the rest of the city has nothing special) and then I went to Fenis.
And 'a must to compliment the region of Valle d'Aosta, which has created a beautiful picnic area at the foot of the castle, ideal for a delicious lunch of sandwiches, panini sandwiches ... and finally!
The visit of the castle was interesting: You can only do guided tours, lasting about 3 / 4 of an hour and cost € 5.00. The castle can be visited are on the ground floor and first floor (or even completely) .. but it is sufficient to enjoy its beauty! Unfortunately I have to give a adelusione to all those who, like the child who was in my tour group, you expect to see the dragon's castle ...! No, unfortunately there is not ... and if there is sleeping ... so it is not necessary to be stuck on the wall and climb the stairs ... always watch your back! (Poor child will still have nightmares now).
my only sore point of the day? This ....





... never give ear to your girlfriend unless you want to go all the way back to the shadow of these "Things" that is projected on the asphalt in front of you!

Real Housewives Bathing Suit

bike ... but not only!

On 22 July 2006, I decided to give my girlfriend a romantic weekend in Venice on the occasion of his birthday!
2 days have been intense and the heat is unbearable at times because as you all know that in Venice there is only one way to move your feet ....!
Let's start at the July 22 6.oo Station Arona ... we are in Venice at 10.40 and immediately began the search for our Bed & Breakfast! But luckily we do not lose time ... I'm holding a detailed map of Calle di Venezia ... I can not go wrong (because who knows me knows I do not ever mistake it !!!), right turn, left turn, go straight and here we are in front of what we'll find out then the Municipality of Venice ... and yes I just rented a room in City Hall, located on a street just behind Piazza San Marco!
leave bags begin our tour ... we do not have much time, our train again the next day at ore18.00! The first stage is a must: Piazza San Marco. We would like to enter but the tail snake makes us change your mind ... we continue on the promenade, past the Palazzo Ducale, Ponte dei Sospiri up Arsenal is ongoing in the Biennale of Architecture.
We decide to visit the three islands ... the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria .... oh no sorry that's another trip .... Murano, Burano and Torcello. The movement by water takes a little time, especially to reach Torcello, but definitely worth it. Murano leaves us quite indifferent if we exclude an almost life-size tree made entirely of glass, and Burano impresses us with the colors of its houses ... like being in a fairy-tale village, the houses are all organized in small groups, a attacked each other with the same model and color of the windows, helping to increase the sense of order on the island.

Torcello Island is perhaps the least known and visited, there is only a very ancient church undergoing renovation ... a very peaceful place! Now in the evening we take the boat and go back past the Lido in Venice. The day we did a little tired but we still wanted to walk along the seafront to see what offers Venice in the evening ... Dav doors to the Bridge of Sighs two guys are doing the puppet theater with the Beatles' later some fisheries (not realizing that the dog is eating the fish that puts in the trash!) on a British yacht is about to start a party GranGala, in Piazza San Marco is still full of people ... and we like good lovebirds are we doing to make a picture. Let us return to our room and we fall asleep even before he touched the pillow.

The next day we move to the Jewish Ghetto: Venice is a feeling the corner .. and so do not miss it! We arrive at the gates of the Ghetto and written in Hebrew and the songs of the rabbis who gathered in the square, we are entering a different environment, that seems not to have contact with the rest of the city. Let this little old world and the boats pass in the Port of Venice: half the Basilica of San Giorgio, but before we stop to visit the Mulino Stucky, In 1900 it employed 1,500 workers and produces up to 2,500 tons of flour per day and is currently under renovation to be converted to residential use.

Unfortunately we arrived late and the Basilica of St. George is already closed, we can only admire it from outside, even enjoying the view of Piazza San Marco.



But time goes fast, there are now only a couple of hours before taking the train that will take us back home, just the time walking the streets, admiring the gondoliers and above the stunts of women already aged and no longer have to lean up on the gondola even ... a last look Rialto Bridge Venice ... and hello!
