On 19/09/2008 early morning, we checked out from Paris hotel, heading to train station as our train to Milan departed at 7am.
See dear is so sleepy, the eyes are so small :D In the train to Milan, spotted some nice scenery, maybe is some other country...
The train ride was about 7 hours, really tiring... After we reached Milan, we still wonder around the train station, because we were looking for immigration, we wonder how come no need to pass the immigration, but we could not find it, so we gave up. After that we went to Metro station to take metro to hotel, we kept on looking for the ticketing counter, again we failed to find it, so only could purchase the ticket through machine, but no worry, can choose language for it.Then when we reached the metro station that our hotel located, we didn't know which way to follow, so asked people around, again they could not speak English, they only speak Italian, but they can understand simple English. Who knows we asked one passerby where is the hotel, then he guided me to a long way, both of us carried our luggages walked around looking for hotel like mad people... haha
Finally we reached the hotel, after took bath, we directly went out again. :D We bought the 2 days ticket, which can take any public transport, for Euro$6 only, a lot cheaper compared to Paris.
The first place we visited in Milan - Duomo. It is a catheral church, we impress by the amazing interior and exterior design again. Really nice, I wonder how long they took to complete this church, everything is just perfect. Guess what.... Something special happened here...in front of Duomo... maybe because of the romantic city, dear suddenly popup a question for me, which make me shock, I didn't expect he's ready already. But no flower nor ring, just a question, does this consider porposal??? hehe I really happy and excited...
This is a shopping mall next to Duomo, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Shopping heaven for shopaholics, but not for me, because too branded and too expensive.
We had dinner in Duomo Bar which could enjoy Duomo night view. So romantic. But I felt sick that time. :(
On the 2nd day, we went to see The Last Supper painting. An advice to all, if you wish to visit this, you need to purchase the ticket online in advance, you'll never get a ticket there, but you need to pay more for it. But the painting is really big, it's as big as a wall, wonder how Leordano da Vinci did this painting last time...
After that, we went to San Siro Stadium, which holding matches for 2 famous football team - Inter Milan and AC Milan. We walked a lot to reach there too. But we didn't go in the stadium, because need to pay as well even though no matches going on.
After that, we visited Sforza Castle, a big and unique castle.
We went back to Duomo (it's the center of Milan) again, wanted to take better photos at Duomo, as this place is so special to us. :)
Here end my Europe trip. How I wish to continue visit there, next time I wish to visit to Rome and Venice... Wish my dream will come true soon :P
