Milano
 With 1.3 Mill – it's the 5^th largest city in the EU

 

Before Reaching Milano we saw a MacDonald – long-time no see and 'we’re loving it’. But then as soon as we went into Milano Paul became quite Italian, using his horn all the time. Even we had a crazy description we found the way perfect through the city and to the Hotel – which was the 2^nd cheapest we could find on the internet: but we had free parking in the courtyard and a balcony where you can overlook the Italian traffic… it’s quite nice in the evening listening to the sounds of cars and the ambulances.


 Duomo di Milano

The main attraction in this city… and we had to check it out too, but from the outside only - Built over 6 centuries from 1386 – 1965, is the 5^th largest cathedral in the world – quite impressive and sparkling white when you look at it. I’m sure we could spent hours trying to check out all the details.

 
 On the Tour bus

When we left the underground some girls tried to get rid of their tickets for the sightseeing bus, we took them and looked forward to a relaxing tour around Milano with some fresh wind. We sit on the top in melting heat – and we saw lots of old houses with stone carvings and discovered it’s very hot.
 

 The Sforza Castle – Castello Sforzazio

And we hoped off at the Castillo from the 14^th century - walked around here… not really mind blowing but a nice relaxing park: where we found a victory gate and an awesome fountain in the front… after waiting forever for our tour bus – I’m sure we could have walked it in 15 Min – we came back to the Piazza de Duomo.

 
 Milan’s famous shopping Mall – Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle II

• The oldest shopping Mall in Italy, named after Italy’s first kind
• Built in 1865 – with the most luxuries stores
• A tradition says when you’re under the dome: if you stand with your heel of your right food on the genitals of the bull mosaic portrait on the floor of the octagon Gallery – it will bring good luck

Sure we had to check out the most famous shopping mall in the world – and it is really amazing: a glass dome, gigantic pictures, statues…and there is Leonardo Da Vinci looking at as. Ok we skipped the shopping part.

I think if you want to see more of Milano – maybe summer is not such a great time…

And in Italy – another Pizza night, but this time Paul wants some more staff on it….
