Day 19: Pietrasanta-Sesto Calende

Another beautiful day in Pietrasanta….we take our last walk around town stopping to buy a piece of parmigiano-reggiano that our friends in Sweden requested.

We say goodbye to the people at the hotel and thank them for their hospitality.

We are going to Sesto Calende, a town near Malpensa Airport, because we are flying to Copenhagen tomorrow and visiting friends in southern Sweden. We will leave most of our luggage at the Hotel 3 Re because we don't want to have to carry it all to Sweden and because we are flying on EasyJet, a European budget airline (our first experience) and they have strict weight limits for checked baggage. This hotel was the first hotel we stayed in on our first trip to Italy in 1993. We have stayed there since and I use it for clients from time to time. The women who run the hotel–Silvia and Raffaela–have agreed to store our excess bags for the four nights we are gone - we'll be back for one more night on our return.
