Arriving in Tirano

We arrived in Tirano, in Italy, around 1.30pm, too early to get into our hotel room, so we headed off for a lunch of pizza and pasta. Why not? We were in Italy.

We had a couple of days here, relaxing in the Italian sunshine, taking in the views of the spectacular mountains, enjoying the delicious local wines, and certainly ensuring we tried lots of little sweet treats.

After our late lunch we headed to the old town, where little cobblestone alleyways led to hidden piazzas, with beautiful cafés and restaurants. We discovered modern boutiques, alongside bric-a-brac shops, all shaded by ancient churches. It was a slow, drifting afternoon, that set the tempo for the next couple of days.
