The puddle

After a busy day in Paris we relax in our hotel room. 

"Look at this!" My husband is a bit angry. "The aircon is dripping. We have to call the room service." 

The young man comes from Nice and he tells us that he doesn't need an aircon, that he does like heat and that Nice is much nicer than Paris. A towel for the puddle on the floor is his solution for the problem.  The repair service will come tomorrow. I tell him that I love Paris and Nice and...

Listen to Mancini!

We've finally found a parking garage in Milan. Well, we've found the entrance.
A man waves, "Go in!" A bell signal. Now we are ... in.

It's a place from the past. Driveway, walls, doors, windows -- everything old, very old. Just the modern cars disturb the scene. But over there a vintage car and ... Wow! I listen to Mancini! Audrey Hepburn is a few steps from here! I'm sure!

In the staircase a special scent. Audrey?

We leave the parking garage and cross the street.

Passersby --
the old cinema
is closed



Lauschen Sie Mancini!

Endlich haben wir ein Parkhaus in Mailand gefunden. Nun, immerhin die Einfahrt...
Ein Mann winkt. "Fahren Sie rein!" Ein Klingelzeichen und nun sind wir...drin.

Es ist ein Ort der Vergangenheit. Auffahrt, Wände, Türen, Fenster - alles alt, sehr alt. Nur die modernen Autos stören die Szene. Aber dort, ein Oldtimer! Und... Wow! Ich lausche Mancinis Klängen! Audrey Hepburn ist ganz in der Nähe! Bestimmt!

Im Treppenhaus ein besonderer Duft. Audrey?

Wir verlassen das Parkhaus und überqueren die Straße.

Passanten --
das alte Kino
geschlossen
