How is this for a day?
After a leisurely breakfast stroll around the Como lakefront. Head back to the hotel and pack before strolling to the train station for the train to Milano.
Arrive at Milan hotel, check in and head off for a stroll to the Castle via park. Stop to admire the architecture and get to the park just in time for gelati. Give the exotic flavours a miss for once and go for vanilla and chocolate, mmmmm delicious. Stroll around park eating gelati. Arrive at castle. Very impressive, museums are closed so very few there. Discover that there is a Michealangelo exhibition and an ancient Egyptian gallery. I have three hours to spare tomorrow, so, bonus.
\Having filled tomorrow I decide to go to Il Duomo for a fine weather look. On the way stop for a slice of pizza (third day in Italy and first pizza or pasta! How’s that Connor?) The lady says I cannot have a pizza happy meal because they are for bambini and I am not a bambino. The other ladies talk her into letting me have a small slice of pizza. Walk one of Milano’s prime shopping streets to Il Duomo. Also go through the Palazio Real, and anything else free.
Catch metro back to my stop and walk to Cenacola Vinciano where last supper is to get my bearings for tomorrow. Church attached doesn’t look much but has some amazing paintings including a Deposition by Carravagio. Very dark.
Should I have pasta for dinner? Or Gnocchi? Or maybe risotto?
PS I keep going to pee in the bidet. Not that you needed to know.
