Swedish Lotus in the Alps & Dolomites 2022 – Day 7

Today, most of us have been exploring Brescia. One couple drove down to the Ferrari museum in Maranello. All other started the day by visiting the Mille Miglia outlet in Franciacorta. After this we drove inte the center of Brescia. We managed to find a garage with a ramp that worked with the F-Type. Still a bit exciting to drive into since it’s impossible to see what’s in front of you with the long bonnet anf low seat position.

We visited the castle back in 2015. But went back there again today. It is worth a visit just because of the views. We also visited one of the museums there. The armoury is on top of the castle and it was rather warm today. So we were the only visitors there. Lots of armor from 15th to 18th century. It’s good to see that they continue to restore the castle.

We then went down the hill and had lunch at a small restaurant. Pasta with black truffle, which was very good. After that, we walked around the city center and did some shopping. It works well even if we don’t speak italian and the italians don’t speak english (or swedish…). Tonight we’ll have dinner at the hotel.
