Ciao Italia Hello UK / myLot

Took the flight from Bergamo to London Gatwick today. Unfortunately all holidays must come to an end. I will be back to work tomorrow and I am sort of dreading it. But I do need to replace the holiday money spent. We had and amazing holiday, it felt like time flew so quickly. We are already planning and dreaming about the next one. Here is a statue called "Il Caravaggio" by Giacomo Manzu. I always find it amazing how Italian Airports have amazing artworks in them.

I got right back to work the next day. I have been missed so I've been told. How are you?

@Orson_Kart I have grown a lot in all the years. I am grateful for all the heartaches along the way. I feel like I got missed at work. It is just my second day and I already feel like I need another set of holiday

Back is hurting.

@flapiz I am good, thanks.

They’ve missed your hard work I bet. Good to see you happily married. I’ve followed your journey from Oz to the UK. All the emotional heartbreaks. Amazing that it’s an Italian and not a Brit who has won your heart. Sorry we weren’t up to the job.

Best wishes to you for the future

I have never been to the Orio al Serio airport, we used the Milano Linate or Milano Malpensa in the past. I am glad you enjoyed your Italian time.

I enjoyed it very much. It felt a bit short-lived. I prefer Malpensa airport than Bergamo.

@LadyDuck I hope next time we take Malpensa. There is just so much difference with the order and the hygiene.

@flapiz I know that now they try to use Malpensa only for more long distance flights, Linate was good for short European flights.

@flapiz What a pity il Caravaggio forgot to wear underpants while posing for that statue. Surely some traveller could lend him a pair, wouldn’t you think?

Hahaha we were actually laughing at the disproportion. I am surprised it is not covered actually since there will be kids viewing it too. I think Italians have seen too much of this kind of art.
