Livigno



It was so much time we wanted to have a short holiday so we programmed a day in Livigno, a fresh place in the mountains, 250 km from Milano were we live.
The other day we had gone to the baby shop to buy a new baby bag bigger than the one we usually use because I needed to put more items for Momo for an entire day so far expecially dresses and diapers because in Livigno high inthe mountains temperature goes easily down till 16 degrees and I needed Momichan to be sufficiently hot.
We got out of home and went to take up granny, Momichan was sitting in her ovetto, drinking her camomilla.
After two hours we arrived at a place in which we could eat, to reach Livigno we needed another hour travel more. Momichan was excited but also nervous, this is her first travel so she was very naughty by eating her meal and after she was weeeping a lot, we gave her her milk bottle and finally she calmed, relaxed and fall asleep.
Finally we arrived in Livigno, the air was fresh, about 20° degress but shortly went down at 18° so after a while we put on Momi a pair of long pants and a shirt and after another while something hotter.


Momichan was curious about everything, she continued turning her head to look here and there, she saw horses and cows, she was quiet because air was fantastic, she didn't even drink that much. We went to a store to buy food, Livigno is special because everyone can go there and buy electronics, watches, cameras, perfumes, alchool, leather goods, tobacco, gasoline, foods and many other items discounted in respect of prices in normal cities so we bought chokolate bars, dices to make broth, soups, bresaola and mountain cheese, wooden matches and some other little things, then we stopped for an aperitif in a cute place and Momichan has two slices of ham, she ated all :-)
Here we are, sitting at the outsite table, waiting for our aperitif to come.


It was already time to leave, clock showed 20.30 already so we got in the car and sayd goodbye at the mountains but our car was not of the same advice .... she has been very naughty too.
After 20 km, just passing the customs shortly she started to smoke from the engine and broke down and refused to go any further. We waited a while, put 5 icy liter water inside the radiator and finally she switched on.
We arrived a the restaurant where we always stop to have dinner whenever we go to Livigno and this time Momichan had her meal and camomilla and we could eat quietly.
After meal we got in the car again to reach home but as soon as we reached Como lake, she swiched off again and again we had to pur icy water inside and wait a little, luckily Momichan has fallen asleep as every evening after dinner.
The engine was making a naughty sound and we were seriously worried we could not reach home safely. Fortunately after another two forced "pit stops" we got my mum's home and we decided to leave car there so we took out the stroller and Momichan in her ovetto, we took our shopping bags, we said goodbye to mum and we set off for home.
WFFFFF when we arrived, Momichan was still sleeping, we put her to bed and we had a nice fresh shower. What a day !
In this very moment, our car is by the mechanic and we really hope is something not so serious, tomorrow we will know ...
