Milan

Day 12:

Milan: business hub and center of chic.


Duomo di Milano: amazing Gothic architecture. It is one of the world's largest churches, it is the second largest gothic church in the world. It is cavernous inside.


And of course there is the fashion. All the biggest names of the fashion world line the streets, the shops have big burly security guards at the doors, and the rich swagger around wearing the latest trends. Adam and I had the most fun sitting on a bench and people watching.
"That one is a tourist."
"Oh She must be a local! "
"Another pair of gold shoes and Louis Vuitton bag."


Day 13:
A day trip by train to Lake Como. It was very hazy and a little cold. But we enjoyed it none-the-less.


We caught a cable car up the mountain to look at the view. It was again hazy yet still quite impressive :)

Oh yeah. I almost forgot to mention that we had a very tasty Indian dinner in Milan...we were getting a little sick of pizza and pasta:)

What a magnificent church!! Imagine going to Mass there :)

A pity Lake Como was hazy. On a sunny day it is lovely. I am glad you still enjoyed it. xxx
