Milan is a love me or hate me (can’t you see what I see, all the boys and all the girls…) place. There’s nothing but boutiques and boutiques everywhere. There was one street in particular–Via Monte Napoleone, I think–which just screamed luxury. I also flipped through a restaurant guide and the idea of an Armani/Nobu restaurant really made an impression.
Chim got mugged, and so overall I feel that Milan sucks.
Our studio apartment was so great, we watched music videos all the time. I told the rest to watch Beyonce’s video for If I Were a Boy because there was like, a weird twist in the storyline, so they all had really high expectations of it and in the end were very disapointed.
We also walked a lot and visited a castle. Oh, and this was still in the early days of the trip, right after Rome, and Milan was where we started using the DK guide for restaurant recommendations and they were all pretty on point.
This was taken in Florence but I forgot to post it.
Also took a day trip to Lake Como. Didn’t make it to Bellagio as it was not accessible by train. It was pleasant but we didn’t really see many mountains surrounding the lake. That was because we didn’t want to pay for the boat ride. This roll of slide film was a failure and it wasn’t even cross processed. But i suppose it has a dreamy edge of heaven quality.
