Milano

Milano Centrale. If the train station was anything to go by then Milan was going to be a real treat. The station was housed in what appeared to be an Art Deco building but it was built in the very early 1900s. It was unbelievably well preserved and what better way to be greeted on arrival.

Hotel. Vicki did it again. We have been waiting to the absolute last minute to book hotels for the next leg of almost every journey. Great as we have the flexibility to chop and change at will but not always good on the stress front. We would still have it no other way and again Vic found a gem for our stay in the heart of Milano. Fillipo Inzhagi (An AC Milan soccer superstar) lives in the same building. Very beautiful, affluent part of Milano and again the price was right. Really big room, tastefully decorated in a local flavour with our own personal garden. Beautiful. A bit of a walk, some dinner and an early retirement.
