Milan: a golden city. The Sustainable European Tour, day 10.
Milan, Italy 26/08/2017 Arrived in Milan, I found an, almost, empty city. Empty of its residents, but with a good quantity of tourists. The city, even in August, look efficient and precise.

Bari: Italian welcome. The Sustainable European Tour, day 7.
Delays, lines, neverending boarding and a sleepless night. The trip from Bar to Bari was my first time with a medium-range ferry, and it was traumatic.
