Up at 6am, brekky at 6.30 and off to the train station
across the road. All went well and we
were soon hurtling along the tracks, on our way to Italy.
The scenery was unbelievable. The Swiss Alps were everything we had
imagined. We took lots of photos,
although many will be deleted. There was
a google map to watch of our trip as we traveled along.
We arrived in Milano as arranged and with the help of our
map we found our way to our hotel. It is
in the 70’s style. Glass door and wall
in the bathroom – a voyeur’s paradise.
We went for a walk
to get some lunch – our first real Italian pasta – Beuno. We walked on to the shopping area. Not impressive – everything seems dirty and
bustling with very loud heavy traffic.
Not sure if we found the main part of Milan but by the maps available we
had – oh well…we found a park and the tranquility we craved and also some
delicious iced coffees that we had been searching for since leaving Australia.
– Perfect way to rest in the park. We
found a shorter way back to the hotel.
Time for an afternoon rest. We
woke at 6.30 and went out to buy some dinner.
Pop had salmon lasagna and I had gnocchi – not the nicest I've had but
Pop loved his. Back to our hotel and
lights out at 9.30pm.
Milano was ok but we wished we had just gone straight to
Venice.
