Aug 27th – Milano!

So after a 15hr travelling time, we finally touched down in Milano! From Malpensa Airport we had to take a bus to the city centre, which set us back by €12 each. Dragging our luggage from the bus to the cab would be a very difficult task, but a guy was waiting for us there, eager to help us. (He squeezed a €4 tip out of us in the end). But it would be difficult to drag everything anyway, I had 36kg of stuff and she had 47 We were headed to Hotel Catalani and Madrid, somewhere near the Loreto area.

Actually the room isn’t v big. No lift somemore, we had to drag everything upstairs! Was quite a bitch to carry, but in the end we succeeded!

And after that, we went to walk around. First up was our first Italian food along Corso Buenos Aires.

First Italian Pasta!

Was okay only leh. The penne was done al dente, which means that it is slightly undercooked. So some bits were stuck in my teeth and all. But oh well. After lunch was shopping!

And outside this magnificent Galleria where all the high end brands can be found, there is the Duomo cathedral, the single most important building in Milano. Without which, Milano would be damn boring with nothing to see at all.

Duomo Cathedral

Beautiful eh? This is the single reason why (I think) everyone is in Milan for. The architecture is superb, very detailed and defined. Awesome. I dont know how the ancient people managed to achieve all of these without the use of power tools man. Must be very talented people then!

At night, there’s nothing much to do. We got wifi in the hotel (€5 a day), so we just ended up using the internet at night!
