Milan

Lindsey and I woke up at about 3am to get to the bus stop to get to the train station. We arrived at the Termini train station about 4am, then caught a bus to Ciampino airport for a 6:50 fight to Milan. In Milan, we took a bus to the Milan train station, then walked around for a few hours. We went past the church that holds the "Last Supper", but they were sold out so we couldn't see it. We couldn't even see the regular part of the church because it was already closed for siesta. Oh well.


We then found a castle that had been turned into a museum. We took a few pictures of the draw bridge, then continued through some gardens where we found another museum. We went into one of the exhibits where you could interact with the things on display.




We then went around to the Duomo



Before hitting up the shopping center.


The story of the bull is that if you put your heel in the whole and spin around, it will bring good luck.


We walked to our hotel, which was located by the train station, to check in and rest our feet. We went back to the Duomo for dinner and to watch the sun set, but wanted to be back to our hotel before it was too late.


The next morning, we went to a villa and walked around some gardens




By this point it was time to get back to the train station to catch a bus to the airport. We finally got back to our apartment between 9:30 and 10pm that night.
