Day 37 from 37 – 19th August 2012

37 Days – Holiday project.

It was purely chance that these last two days of the “37 Days – Holiday project”  saw us away from it all, in foreign parts, on holiday… if a weekend away can really be called a holiday? But it certainly had a holiday feeling.

Strolling through the Golden Rectangle ( or whatever they call the area littered with all those famously named shops) I couldn’t help but notice the brightly polished door bell pushes.

In this shopping arcade (Vittorio Emanuele II) it seems that all the big names are present. Prada has had a shop here since about 1913, Gucci is also present as is Louis Vuitton on the left of the picture…. and McDonalds on the right.

With temperatures approaching 40 degrees several people keep their shutters firmly closed.

Last but not least, a view of the hotel reception area. A true holiday feeling as I sit in the cool having collected our luggage, before going out into the heat of mid afternoon for the short walk to the railway station.

I will no doubt be writing some sort of summary about the “37 Days – Holiday project”, but it’s just turned midnight, so I’ll leave that for another day.
