Milan!

Just some pictures of sights from my 4 day trip to Milan- enjoy!


One of many big salads I enjoyed :)


Duomo Cathedral


Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle


Inside the building...they had an Armani cafe (5 euros for a tiny cup of coffee better be free refills)


Me being a typical tourist

This street had sooo many labels- Dior, Celine, Giuseppe Zannoti, Armani, Versace, Prada, Gucci...you get the picture!

Obviously provided inspiration for this menu

Hotel we stayed at (it provided breakfast and had a spa with a sauna, turkish bath and gym)


We caught a race happening- I cannot believe a triathlon occurred during 34 degree weather 

Me and one of my many cocktails I tried (my favourites were: Amaretto di sonno, Pina Colada and Mai Tai)

Tips for Milan:

  1. DO change Euros at the airport or before you travel, the exchange rate is terrible
  2. DO take mosquito repellent if you are travelling during Summer and plan to be out after 6pm
  3. DO travel by Metro, the 8.25euro 2 day unlimited travel pass is a bargain
  4. DO remember whenever and wherever you eat there will be a 2-2.50euro cover charge added (per person)
  5. DO be wary of taxis. Metro is cheaper, a taxi ride to our hotel was 95euros, by train it was 11.50 per person
